Late Surgiversary Doctor Appt.
Ok, you guys have disappeared again!!! Where are you?! Kim, hope you are feeling better! Today I had my one year post-op appointment with my weight loss surgeon. I'd had to postpone it last month due to the PS. I passed his office when I went to the bathroom before weighing in. He was talking on the phone so I didn't even glance his way. When I weighed in, the nurse was saying how great I looked! That made me feel good. I took off my boots before weighing in but had on a sweater and pants and my weight was 132 even!!!!! I was SO happy because that wasn't much above what I'd weighed at home naked! When the doctor came in he said he would have NEVER recognized me and said he and the nurse had been looking at my "before" picture. He asked if I'd seen it lately and I looked at it and cringed but I have to admit the transformation is pretty amazing!!! He was just so complimentary. I was smiling ear to ear! He thought my PS incision looked great and he even look at the back! I left there on cloud nine and floated over to the Anne Taylor Loft and tried on lots of clothes and bought some! Like that Oprah show said, I've just switched addictions!! I can't stop shopping for clothes! It is just SO AWESOME to be able to walk into any store and buy anything!!! I have to stop!!! One thing I bought at Anne Taylor was a jean jacket!!! It's waist length - something I couldn't have even bought a month ago because of the stomach! Then, I did something I have NEVER IN MY LIFE DONE!!!! I went into Victoria's Secret!!! And, I even tried on various bras and bought one!!! Oh, I'm so full of myself it is unreal! We went to a Christmas party tonight and I felt SO good! I feel like I've truly gotten a new life and I'm so thankful! I'm off to the Plastic Surgeon for yet another follow up tomorrow so you probably won't hear from me again til Saturday!
