Almost 9 month post op visit, plastics consult & musings (long)

Thank you so much!

I'm so glad you are feeling proud and good about yourself. Everyone has their issues but some people's issues are not noticable to the naked eye. Our issue WAS. You have done a fantastic job and you have EVERY reason to be proud of your accomplishment. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Thank you! You're doing awesome, btw!

I've always been inspired by your posts and comments, but none more so than today! I am starting out much like you did, no comorbids, pretty active, able to lose but not keep off weight and I'm 47 yrs young.  I just started the preop diet today and was having a hard time mentally, but reading your post gives me hope.  Thank you!  

I'm so glad! The pre op diet is hard, and I even got to eat real food. It's similar to how I eat now, just a bit more. Be kind to yourself, and take it one day at a time. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

You are awesome. Period. There is nothing else to say!!! 

Right back atcha!

You have done dynamite work.And I second the screw-that-doc cry others have raised.  It is the job of plastic surgeons to look for things to fix. My doctor has cautioned me not to go to a plastic consult until I am secure in what I want and how I feel about my new body, because plastic surgeons can make you want to "fix" things that are not in need of change. I may go see someone about my chicken neck down the line, but I will say up front that i LOVE my crows feet. I am sorry you had to have contact with a toxic weasel. In my eyes, and they eyes of many on these boards, you are a hero and a role model. As my Great Aunt Alice would say, ":Be told."

Aww thanks, that is so kind. I really appreciate it. He wasn't too bad, just not the guy for me :)
