Six Months post-op
Oct 05, 2007
It's been 6 months since my surgery, and I'm feeling so much better. I had my 6-month post-op check-up yesterday, and my doctor is very happy with my progress (me too!). I had labwork drawn a few days ago, and everything was within normal limits. I was a little anxious, as I don't get 75 grams of protein daily. My B-12 was right in the center of normal, and that I think was my biggest concern.
I came across a dress that my daughter wore in middle-school to the Winter Formal, that was a size 14W, and it FIT! Hard to believe 6 months ago I was in a 26/28W. Most of what I wear now is size 16. My feet have changed as well. Sandals that I wear with adjustable straps have all had to be tightened as my feet keep slipping out of them! I'm going to have to get my wedding rings re-sized, as they slip around and it's annoying!
It's fun running in to people that I haven't seen in a while and them having to take another look, as they can't believe it's me! I still have to pinch myself occasionally...hard to believe such a metamorphasis in such a short amount time.
