~ 2 Years Down ~

Actually, it was yesterday

2 years since SM FINALLY received the operation he so badly needed

And here we are - over 40kg lost - an almost normal liver function (until Doxy and Rifampicin shook things up a bit)

There are some things about those few days I'll never forget

The Fawlty Towers like experiences with accommodation - and it was expensive accommodation - bloody Melbourne Cup week

Finding an email while we were there to say that Possum had his orientation for his new job THE DAY BEFORE we were due to fly home - and having to send him home a day early

'Nanna' telling SM he would be ok to have a sip of water before the op and nearly screwing up the whole thing....lucky he didn't listen to her

The main thing I will remember is feeling completely at peace with the whole thing

I didn't shed a single tear

He wasn't nervous

We had waited so long and were so ready

He had some issues with his blood pressure after the operation 

And had some excruciating pain

For the most part though, it was incident free

Best decision 

Before - I think he ended up approx 10kg heavier than this 

More recently. Getting there!
This was the day he had his hair cut and coloured for the hair show he modelled in.

So proud!
We have slowed his weight loss down, he lost a lot of weight quickly.
Skin needs time to recover.
I would hate him to have to have further surgery to remove excess skin.
Now that his health is improving he may be able to exercise a little soon.
This will help keep his skin from sagging.

Criticise me now bitches ;)
