3 mo post op...my thoughts!

As of today I am 3 months post-op!  I really never saw this happening for me.  I had considered it for many years and never followed through.  I always thought there was no way I would get insurance approval without a comorbidity.  When I changed my PCP in January with an insurance change my dreams came true!  My new PCP takes a very aggresive approach with treatment of HBP.  When she put me on meds I thought to my self "IT'S ON"....finally a comorbidity!  And so the journey began......LOL  So far this journey has been wonderful and I wouldn't go back to the way I was for one second!  I am down almost 60lbs since the start of my journey!  I no longer have HBP and I feel younger and lighter everyday!  My own perception of myself is generally good and accurate except for when I try on clothing......I find it hard to guess what size I am......LOL  Today I realized I have 7lbs to go before I am no longer considered obese!  I will jump for joy when that happens!  I wish everyone could have as great a journey as I am!  I wish everyone luck with thier journey and hope it brings you all as much joy as mine has given me!
