Surgeon Testimonial

Hugh Houston
Dr. Houston is a very caring, compassionate man who cares deeply about his patients. rnrnAfter you get to know him a little better, he can be downright funny. I like him a lot.rnrnHe knows his stuff. He does not take chances with your health... He has a great \"better safe than sorry\" approach to little medical worries that pop up in the hospital.rnrnHe visited both me and my husband while we were in the hospital at least 2-3 times a day, sometimes four. His bedside manner was/is an excellent compliment to his amazing surgical skills.rnrnHe never hid stuff from us. He was very upfront about all the risks (and the benefits). rnrnDr. Houston deserves a great big 10!

OMG! I Can't Believe it!

Okay, two pieces of news!

First Bit: I finally moved the scales again (and no, not from one room to another) and dropped two more pounds!  I'm down to 196!  I've lost a total of 224 pounds!

SEcond bit: And the best part?  That dropped my BMI!   The doctor's office says my BMI is 29.7 and that makes me mearly OVERWEIGHT!!!

I can't believe it!  I"ve been obese since I was 12 years old!!!  I can't believe that I am merely overweight and that I am THRILLED to be overweight.

16 pounds to go until my surgical goal weight!

What Is Left of My Mind Has Been Blown Again
on May 16, 2007 11:17 am
I now own several size 10 "bottoms."   I've been able to wear mediums on top for a while now, but as I've learned, gravity is not my friend and I've been wearing a larger size on bottom than on top. 

However, I now have 3 pairs of pants that are mediums (Medium is usally consider size 8-10).  I have a STRAIGHT denim skirt that is a 10.  I have 6 pairs of pants that are 10s.  They all button, zip, and I can sit down in them.  Wow.

Having worn a 38W at my biggest, this just blows my mind.  I can't help but wonder what size I'd be wearing if I didn't have all the loose skin.
