Yay, No More Oxygen!!!!!



Hi everyone, Its been a while since I posted. Well today I went to see the pulmonologist and had a great check-up. I don't have to sleep with the oxygen anymore and I don't have to see him either, unless I have problems. That's one doctor down one more to go (heart doc). I don't see him until Sept. I think. I will have to continue with the doc that did the surgery every 6 months for blood work to make sure all my levels are okay.
Now on to other news. For those that don't know, Scott and his fiance,Amber are expecting a baby boy in Oct. They will get married after the baby is born.
As for me, I am doing great. Getting ready to go to Chicago next week to see family and also to go to an ObesityHelp Event. That is a web site that is for weight loss surgery, either the lap band or the gastric bypass. I was really excited when I saw they were having one in Chicago. I can't wait to see the family up there. I haven't seen any of them since Jen and Dan's wedding. I have lost about 60lbs since I was up there. I made my goal of weighing 200lbs by June 1st, so I have officially lost 237lbs total since I began my journey of weight loss. I have gone from a size 4-5X to a medium/large, and bra size from a 54-56 FF to a 38D. I went to a women's health fair this past Saturday and they had a bra fitter from Dillards there to measure you, boy I'm glad I got measured. I also can't wait to get on the plane and not have to ask for a seatbelt extension, and I'm planning on walking at the airports not get a wheelchair for me, the big test will be at Midway because that will be the loooonng walk to get our baggage.
George is doing okay. His new meds seem to help. I will get him a wheelchair at the airports. He walks very slow and seems to almost walk stiff legged. He sees his counselor on Monday, I don't think he sees the doctor until July, will wait and see.
I'm putting a new picture here. It was taken on May 27th at church(where else)by my friend Jody. The other pic of me in a swimsuit, sorry its sideways, I'm not sure why it is since I changed the setting, oh well, you can still see me and all my wrinkles and loose skin. Well that's all for now, will post pics after my trip to Chicago.
