Doctor Visit

Hi All! Just wanted to share with you that I had my doctor's appt. last Wednesday with Dr. Hill. Everything is going great! He is truly incredible! Since I last saw him in March I have gotten my hair cut real short, am down 84 lbs. (164 lbs.) and am in a size 12/14 and some 10's! He was truly unbelieveable! He told me my labs were perfect and that he loved my hair and that I looked great and was doing fantastic! If only all doctors could have his personality! He is my angel that has given me a tool to use and oh how I've used it and made it work! I only have 29 more pounds to go to reach my goal weight of 135 and Dr. Hill has agreed that it's a good goal for me. I'm sure that 29 pounds will take forever and it'll drive me crazy. One thing is I haven't lost any hair yet! Thank God! I feel wonderful, but still feel like I did before I lost the 84 lbs. Will this ever go away? What I mean is health wise I feel great, but I still feel FAT! I've been shopping for my trip to Florida and that has been fun! Everytime I put a new piece of clothing on in a smaller size I think "It must be sized incorrectly." I'm so happy that I made the decision to have WLS and I'd do it again in a minute! Best of luck to all of your in journey ahead! Kimberley 248/236/164/135- by August I hope!

Kim, Isn't this whole thing amazing? I see Doc Hill on Monday, so we'll miss each other in the waiting room. I'm having my labs drawn tomorrow morning. Are any of the normals fasting labs? I'll have to call my local hospital. I'm hoping to go to the first August meeting with Brett, the man you met at the office. He's been my husband's best friend (our best man) since kindergarten and has never canoed, climed a tree, or jumped rope because he has been obese his whole life, which we all can relate to. He's planning on his surgery in the late fall. Seeing us change has been very helpful to him and a great motivator to make the biggest decision of his life. I hope to see you in August...We'll have to walk around with our scars exposed so we'll recognize each other!! Love to you and your girl, Catherine ...Chris is interviewing for a position at SUNY Potsdam this summer. We might become neighbors!

Cathy- Best of luck to Chris for his interview @ SUNY Potsdam! Dam! That would be soooo awesome if you were to move here! Tell Doc Hill I say hello! I'd ask you to give him a hug for me, but that's going a little too far! HaHaHa! You gotta love the man! I had to fast for my lab work. I'm so glad that Brett is going to make the journey! Please wish him luck for me. Love to you and yours! Kimberley

Glad to hear that you are doing so well! WTG
