UPDATE 3 MONTH POST OP
I went to the doctors for my 3 month post op appointment and it went great! He was impressed at the point I was at this far....I have lost 42% of my excess body weight already. He said they expect to see 40-60% at 6 months so I am right on track and doing awesome. I think the hardest point is not knowing how well you are doing after surgery, at least it is for me. I am now setting my goal for my 6 month appointment. Today I weight 239 so my goal is 209 minimum and hopefully 199 at least. I would love to say I am no longer in the 200's come my 6 month post op appointment. Cross your fingers everyone....my challenge now begins. Of course they took another appointment of me today too so come the 12 month post op I can see the changes I have made. Oh yeah, I once again can feel and see my collar bones...LOL. Something so simple and taken for granted I can now see again...I love it!
Super awesome! Congrats :D
That's cool that your surgeon's office takes pictures. I had before pictures taken at my pre-op and was surprised! No pictures since, though.

My surgeon's office takes pictures every 3 months and then show you your weight loss results at your 12th month check up I believe. They said I will have pictures every 3 months so I cant wait to see the results. I know I was in size 34 pants and 5x shirts and I am now in size 18-20 pants and 2-3x shirts just because I don't like them tight. I am so excited to see what 12 months will bring. :)
