my One Year CheckUp (a bit late)

Hey, everyone! JB and I went to Toronto on Monday to see Dr Hagen for my one year anniversary check up (okay, a month late) and his scales are EIGHT pounds LIGHTER than mine! I darned near died from shock! So Im now down 120 pounds officially (and 139 pounds from my highest)!!!!!!!! With such a slow metabolism, I am THRILLED to have gotten this far...he said that my weight may just stabilize now at this stage, however, there was always a chance that I could still slowly lose more weight...well even if I dont lose much more, I am thrilled.....Im rid of my cane, my ugly zippered thick elastic support stockings and my ugly mannish shoes.....Ive gotten back my mobility and Ive found my sense of femininity again. On Sunday, I attended a "Simply Women" trade fair and walked and stood for FOUR SOLID HOURS without sitting even once!! This is amazing! I couldnt walk more than 10 feet w/o needing to sit, let alone STAND more than five minutes! WLS is the miracle that gave me back my life and Id do it again in a heartbeat! Nancy B
