1 yr visit with surgeon!
Mar 18, 2011
My one year isn't until the 26th but I had my one year post op visit last Wednesday. It went really well and he's very impressed with how I've done. His goal for me at the one year mark was 129-135 pounds lost well I blew his goal out of the water, lol I'm down 166 as of this morning from my surgery weight of 426! He's happy with how I'm progressing and says my consistant weight loss has showed him I'm doing what i'm supposed to be doing. He's given me the go ahead to start trying to get pregnant which has been a process because it's not as simple as just getting pregnant for me. I've had to in the last few months wean off dangerous medications, start taking extra vitamins and it's been exhausting and hard to deal with at times but I know the end result will be worth it. Having children was one of the main goals for me having WLS to begin with so to know that dream is more atainable now is amazing. I'm seeing a therapist to help me deal with the self image issues and other things that are creeping back into my life. It's vital for me to deal with old issues and find healthy ways to cope with life and stress. He's helping me deal with and address the self defeating mentality that I've had most of my life. I'm excited to see how far I've come in the last year and can't believe all the changes that have taken place. It's just the beginning and it'll take some getting used to!
