OMG....more than I imagined!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody i'm techinally an April babe but since my surgery was on the 29th I usually post on both April and May boards. Today was my first drs appt since my surgery so until today I had absolutely no idea how much weight i'd lost. When I stepped on the scale I kept trying to look and the nurse scolded me and told me to be still DRUM ROLL PLEASE..............i've gone from 353 the day after surgery to 316!!!!!! thats a loss of 37lbs............woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly fainted I couldn't believe it I weighed on the electric and manual scale just to make sure I wasn't dreaming or the scales weren't brokenlol This really works yall!!!!

WoW, great news on you first weigh, I go in monday for my first weigh in and hope for the same good news.

Way to go Kristy! I went in for 2 wk checkup and had lost 26 lbs (9 of that was gained in the hospital from swelling and fluids) so 17 'real' pounds lost in 2 weeks! Ain't it great?? Take care, Caren

WOW THAT IS GREAT. MY SURGERY IS ON MONDAY MAY 23,I AM NERVOUS,ANXIOUS,EXCITED,SCARED.I HOPE I DO AS WELL AS YOU,DO YOU WORK ? HOW SOON DID YOU GO BACK? HOW DO YOU FEEL? LILLY

Kristy, Who is your doctor? I think your weightloss is out of this world. I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!! I am supposed to have my surgery on the 31st of May in Atlanta with Dr.Champion. I am gettin antsy! Barbara

Hey yall, Thanks for your congrats on my weightloss and congrats to all of yours as well. I'm 3 weeks post-op now and i'm doing pretty good so far i've not gotten sick once and i'm starting to eat more solid foods so i've got more energy than I did even a week ago. Barbara to answer your questions no i'm not working right now I haven't in a couple of years unfortunately I have 2 ruptured disc so once I lose a signigicant amount of weight i'm going to have to have back surgery to repair them. But i'm 38lbs closer so thats something to be greatful for. My surgeon is Dr Hixon and he's done a great job thus far he's easy going and tells you like it is. Good luck to you Barb on your upcoming surgery things will turn out fine, and you can email me if you need any help. Kriss
