March 3, 2011 - 2 years post-op
Mar 03, 2011
Its been a while, and time for an update.I had my 2 year post-op checkup today. The PA I see at my bariatric center seemed genuinely happy to see me, and the progress I have made.
I weighed in at 240 pounds today, which is still exactly 100 pounds less than my weight during the pre-op testing.
She did encourage me to get out and exercise one or two more times a week than I currently do.
And, I think I convinced 2 people in the waiting room to attend the hospital's support group!
One more change is in the support groups. I still go to two distinct support groups, 3 times a week. I got involved in helping run the group at my hospital, too. We have a speaker, usually, then divide into 3 groups (pre-op to 6 months, post, over 6 months post), and lap-band patients. I lead the pre-op discussion group. I feel the need to give back the help and support I got along the way.
