Beginnings
I’ve resisted this for a lot of reasons, but having gastric bypass surgery has done such amazing things to my life that it’s hard not to share. Plus, I had contemplated writing a non-fiction book about the journey, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. While I am a writer, my first love is fiction, and I think I need to keep that passion stoked.
On the other hand, I think I need to tell the story somehow… and plan to do so on this blog. I’ll be adding pictures to the album as I get further along in constructing this blog. And, if you’ve found this place, I hope some of what I have to say is helpful to you in your journey.
My surgery was September 26, 2005. According to my home scale, I weighed 303 pounds that morning. As of today, my scale read 210. I’ve lost 93 pounds in 5 and a half months. I feel great, I look better than I have in 15 years. And I have a story to tell. Hope you stick around.
