Actually it's been almost 2 years! YIKES... The last I left you, I hadn't been feeling well. There were symptoms and such that were just not getting diagnosed. So I started doing research as I realized that it was time I did a change. So decided that I wanted to lose weight - but drastic times call for drastic measures. What I don't think I have shared is that in 2003, I had a lapband put in. This is a tool that helps you minimize the amount of food you eat. It takes some adjusting and training on your part, but can be a successful tool. I lost about 40 lbs and that was about it. It is high maintenance in my opinion and did not work for me. So January of 2012, I had the band removed and got what is called a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (also known as VSG) I have lost 94 lbs and am living life to the fullest!!!

(this was about 4 months post op!)
and GOT A DOG!!! His name is Valero (my aunt found him at a Valero gas station and that's how he got his name). We don't quite know what breed he is but the vet seems to think he is a mix with terrier and dachshund? Whatever the mix - he is 1)hyper 2)amazing and 3)loves us soooo much!!!! I never knew that we were "dog people" but we really are!
We are working on our debt reduction and will work towards getting rid of atleast 2 debts per month. Hopefully we will be done and done by the end of this year!!
My cousin BGonz got engaged as well as my bff, JVilla! (both in December) and I am in both weddings! LOL.
I am soo happy to be sharing our lives again and can't wait to see where life takes us!!!
Check Ya,
Adriana
