So today is exactly 3 months since my surgery.  I have been feeling pretty awesome and find that most days I have a pep in my step.  I had my 3 month check-up with my dietician and my surgeon today.  They were both impressed with my progress and told me to keep up the good work!    I have been noticing lately that I bruise more easily than I have in the past and the bruises that I get take forever to heal.  I have one that is one week shy of three months old that still hasn't completely healed and another that is about two weeks old that still looks almost like a fresh bruise.  My surgeon ordered up a bunch of bloodwork including a clotting test which was interesting.  They made a small cut in my arm and they have you sit for up to 20 minutes while they let it bleed and put some paper kind of disc up to the blood every 30 seconds to draw away the blood and then see how long it takes to stop bleeding.  Other than that I am doing awesome.  I couldn't  leave today without giving my surgeon a big huge hug.  I am so thankful for the opportunity to have this done and turn my health around!
