The first time I've ever been told that

I went to my neurologist appointment this week. This was a routine appointment. I've been having problems with my MS (couldn't be because there's stress in my life - NOOO). My neurologist prescribed a series of high dose IV steroids. This stuff does wonders. My neurologist had me come back after a months time to check to see my progress after the steroids. The neurologist weighs me every time I go in to see him. In one month I'd lost 10 pounds. The neurologist was shocked, he said that steroids usually cause a patient to GAIN weight. He couldn't believe that not only had I not gained any weight after all the steroids but I'd actually lost 10 pounds. Then the neurologist said something to me that I'd NEVER been told before. He told me that I was getting a little too skinny. I've never been told that before in my entire life. Me skinny? No way. You should see me without my clothes on. There's still plenty of fat hanging around that I could lose. I'm small boned and now I'm beginning to think I'm extra small boned. I'm in the average weight category for someone my height. It was nice to hear a doctor tell me something positive about my weight. Melody

I would kiss the doctor if I were you. I am so happy for you. I can't wait for the time when the neuro tells me the same. I need to see a doctor for the c.p. but I want to wait till I hit my goal weight. Donna

Thats great! Glad you had some happy reflexion. Christy

WOW! Thats all I can say about that - how inspirational! I wonder if I will EVER hit goal. Probably not but its a nice dream! -Sherrie

What a great thing. I bet you never in your life thought someone would think that. WLS is a blessing in so many ways. Christy
