4 Month Pos-Op
Hello to all...
I had my MGB on 10-12-00 and I’m still proud I did it..I’m down 74 pounds and enjoy
the richer and healthier life style...I feel like a new person, because I’m a new person...I can’t wait
for Spring so I can enjoy swimming and biking, I remember enjoying them so well... I still enjoy the
comments from people about my weight loss put have lost some of the chat about the surgery that
goes along with it...Don’t get me wrong I’m still spreading the word about MGB and helping
anyone I can...I’ve printed several manuals for friends and family... I have found that the only thing
I can still wear, that I wore before surgery are my shoes (LOL) and some of them fit real
loose...Oh Yeah! Hair Loss??? about three weeks ago it started coming out and continues to
come out...at this point I don’t see how I could have any left on top within the next month.......(NO
LOL)...I hope it comes back like most peoples...I found out that if I eat too close to bed time I do
get some reflux so I fixed that. I’m still cold and I’m wondering how this summer will be for
me...I’ve been so hot and uncomfortable in the past heat...I had a stomach bug last week not a
pretty site but thank GOD it only lasted about 24 hours...I have not had a cold or had to take any
meds since MGB in Oct... I remember being sick mostly all winter before (maybe the vitamins
Help?) I think the weight loss had mad my body more efficient I can tell the difference in
everyway. I still have days when I can’t believe I actually went through with the surgery.. It is like
a dream or something but I so thankful that God gave me the strength to carry on because I know
that the MGB was my answer to a prayer that I had prayed several times. I do find myself to be
truly blessed in everyway.
Your MGB Brother
