Time for an update!

Feb 15, 2011

So I saw the surgeon's PA today. I haven't seen them since last July due to the pregnancy and the excellent care I was receiving from my OB/GYN the surgeon's office didn't need to see me until after I had the baby. I have officially lost 100 lbs by their scale since surgery even after pregnancy for a grand total of 152 lbs. She did mention that my tummy is quite large and she's concerned about a hernia. She said by the look and feel of it that I more than likely will develop a hernia in the very near future. That doesn't sound like too much fun but at least that would mean I could have my tummy tuck done at the same time. ;-) They don't want me to lose much more weight because once the excess skin is removed I will lose some then and they'd like to see me stay at a healthy weight. It was all very exciting. I never imagined that 14 1/2 months ago I'd be where I am today but it feels amazing. I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a beautiful family and I am healthier than I've ever been. None of it would have been possible without the changes and sacrifices I have made. I never thought I'd have another baby and the surgery + weight loss made that possible for me.
