quick update

hi, all.
i know it's been forever - hope everyone's well.
my original implant was 2/26/08, and i've had nothing but fabulousness since! i'm able to work out more effectively (my duration is so insane, now, i LOVE it.) and have lost a whole bunch MORE weight since! getting me healthy has been such a task -- but we're almost there!
coming to you for good thoughts - i have to have a revision done, because of the weight loss. seems the pacer's pocket isn't deep enough anymore, since there's less tissue. (hahah. yay!) we'll have to do it again when i have my final reconstructive surgery (lots of extra skin, from the gastric bypass.) but for now, the whole moving-around-and-catching-on-things thing is almost over! think of me on 3/31, and i'm sure to be okay. you guys seem to have that whole 'angels' thing down.
thanks, and talk to you soon!

Did you have your bypass after or before your PM?I was thinking about inquiring about the lap band procedure with my doctor...

bypass

had the bypass in 2005, and the pacemaker in 08. i would still ask about it, renee. i don't think it'd be a big deal. the pacemaker has only helped me with my weightloss. :) (my duration is insane, now. heh.)

You know you're wired when...

You have a T-shirt that reads “Wired4Sound”.
