Thanks! I did not realize it until I saw the pictures side by side. I still don't see the new me in my head. I am sure I am not alone in that.

You look great and your grandbabies are beautiful, though it's hard to believe you are a grandmother! You have done a great job. Keep it up. Melissa 270/151 5'2''

Hey Cassie - In some ways the surgery has helped with many of the issues that I had prior to surgery but some others that took a back seat as a pre-op have come more to the forefront now as a post-op. From what you said you're doing good with a therapist and that's great. Have you done much in the way of testing hormones? Has anyone recommended a endocrynologist? I am just asking because I know in my case the feelings I get are/were amplified if my hormones were off. The big one being the thyroid hormones. It might be good to ask your doctor about that if you haven't done so all ready. The reason I suggested an endocrynologist is that I farted around with my PCP (two actually), a surgeon (thought I had a hernia???), and a urologist for more than a year before seeing a endocrynologist. He was great and figured out what was going on in terms of hormones, which helped in other areas. Good luck, and no you are not alone.
