I had the gastric sleeve 12-31-13. I was very active in these forums because from the moment I opened my eyes after surgery, I knew I had made a mistake. Maybe I chose the wrong surgery center, maybe it is because I am bi-polar, but opening my eyes to a world of fog and being told to "walk it off" when I couldn't even stand without getting light-headed...well, lets just say ...

So, life has been crazy and I have been gone for a really long time. I promise, the second I get FIVE minutes to sit down and update people I will!

My doctors didn't anticipate this, I didn't anticipate this, and frankly...it worries me. I am enjoying the four sizes down and it seems like there is almost a daily NSV...

Like yesterday. I was at the grocery ...

If you have followed my blogs, you know that things have been rough with my surgeons office. I accidentally missed my last appointment and I think that may have been for the best.

Life is crazy busy right now anyhow. I am getting ready to release book #3, my house is on the market, I leave for my trip to Florida in a few weeks, and I am trying to get pre-approved for a loan before I get to Florida so I can look at houses while I am down there.

My Bi-Polar is FINALLY ...
