I Year
Apr 22, 2009
Well here I am at a little over a year out. I went to see Dr Schlesinger in Phoenix on April 6th for my 1 year check up and he was just thrilled with my progress. I asked him what he thought my goal weight should be and he refused to give me a number. He said that I am fit and that if I didn't lose another pound that I would be considered a success! I have to tell you, that his enthusiasm was quite infectious! I was walking on cloud nine all day. Then I tried to figure out where I think my goal weight should be and I think I'm going to try for 155. That would put me at a "Normal" BMI of 25. I would also like to get rid of some more of this gut I have before I seriously start looking into plastics. Some fat, some skin I'm sure, but I still want it gone. I have been having my panni rashes documented at the Dr's. The other surgeon, on base told me that Tricare likes to see a stable weight for 6 months before they will do a tummy tuck. I need the "muffin top" taken care of too. I think I would be happy with that, and a face lift. I could probably wear size 8 or 6 pants if it weren't for the "muffin." I have to tell you, that the 1 year surgiversary was kinda anticlimatic. I think this is because I didn't reach my goal like I had planned, but today is a new day, so I guess I'll keep on keepin' on!
