3 Month Post-op

Feb 19, 2010

I visited my surgeon yesterday for my 3 month post-op visit.  I have officially lost 54 pounds,  which includes my pre-op liquid diet and more if I consider my highest weight.  I told my surgeon's associate I have to tell myself every day not to compare myself w/others.  My loss is not as much as some, but I am pleased.  He told me I am very wise to do that because many patients come in complaining because they are not losing as much as so-and-so.  He reminded me we all start at different weights, metabolisms, and genders.  All of those and more contribute to our progression.

I feel tremendous.  I cannot believe the difference 3.5 months can make in one's life following this surgery.  I am so grateful for this opportunity to reclaim my life.  I pray if anyone is out there who is still struggling with making the decision whether or not to have this surgery, I recommend they continue reading all  our profiles and blogs and see this is truly life altering.  ...thanks  to all for your continuing support.
