It's hard to believe it's December already. I'm now 8 months post-op. I remember in the first few days after surgery thinking/imagining what I may have accomplished by Christmas. It's beyond my wildest dreams! It's gone by much faster than I had anticipated. 120# less of me. That's another whole person. When I look back at my "before" pictures, I find it hard to believe that the QUEEN-sized woman is actually me.
As I walk to my car to and from work, the walkway across the street is somewhat reflective, and I used to look at myself walking by. It's been neat to watch myself shrink week by week, month by month. Although I'm at a plateau for now, I've gone from a 3-4X to a women's Large top and pants.
I'm hoping to be able to have my tummy-tuck this spring, as my major excess is still my belly that sags. I could probably be in mediums if it weren't for my saggy belly. The doctor told me not to worry; we'll get that taken care of soon enough. My dream is to wear a bathing suit and not be embarassed.
It's nice to be more active, and not be short of breath. It's also nice for people I haven't seen very often to notice what a difference in me. I'm thankful for Dr. Maliapur's wonderful care in helping me to regain control.
