My 6 month surgiversary is today!
Jan 17, 2010
It's been 6 months officially and I truely know that this is the best thing I have done for myself. I wondered prior to surgery how it would feel losing 100 pounds and now i can say that i have lost just that. On the record, I have lost 106 pounds from my highest weight, 96 pounds since April when my weightloss journey began (which includes 21 pre-op pounds) and 75 pounds since surgery. My BMI was 66 at the weight of 362 and is now 47. I wish I had taken measurements pre-op but I have gone from a 34-36W to a 26W. I am able to shop in many more stores for clothing and like trying on clothes. Shopping has become fun. Before, the only things I could shop for was bras, panties, purses, nightgowns and shoes but now I shop for dresses, skirts, sweaters, pants- I can shop the sales and don't feel self conscious combing through the racks.I have been getting more people noticeing me. It's kinda funny; they sometimes don't want to say 'you look better now that you have lost some weight' so they say 'you look like you are feeling better'. It's funny how people respond to massive weight loss. Since I didn't tell many people abpout my surgical procedure, they can only speculate. Some try to question me, others talk behind my back but that doesn't bother me. It's my business and I prefer not to share with everyone-just a chosen few.
I have not been losing a lot of weight lately, but I am still losing inches. I can see my fat shifting and am getting saggier. I have always said that I would not see plastics but I will have to reconsider that at some point. I have about 110-120 pounds I would like to lose and I may want some surgical help at that time...we'll see!
I am so pleased with my duodenal switch. It has been a godsend. I am living again. I have had no complications. Everything is going well.
