Another WOW
I had a doctor's appointment this morning with Dr. Terryberry, my old ob/gyn. I haven't seen him in about 2 years. Before you fuss - I've been religious with my appointments - it's just that he switched to a practice outside my insurance plan. Any way. - I love this man on the same level that I love Dr. MacDonald my surgeon. I give credit to both of these men for giving me a life.
Dr. T hadn't seen me or even heard of my decsion to go the bypass route. He was so SHOCKED but in a very good way. On his scales this morning - fully dressed with shoes and a sweater even I weighed in at 215 . He dug through my charts and found a high weight of 314.5 pounds. (I thought my highest was 305 - guess I was in denial about that weigh in) That weight was a summer time weight so I guarantee I was wearing only the bare minimum in clothes - no way would I have stepped onthe scales with my flip flops on even.
He did this little happy dance sorta thing and then went in search of the nurses. Since he's in a different practice I dodn't know any of them. But he wanted them to all see me and know that I weighed 100 lbs less than when I first became his patient. OMG!!! He said 100 lbs. Did I just hear that right - 100 lbs? I ended up crying - he cried - the nurses cried.
It's not my official 100 lbs. but it's so much more important than that. Oh - the whole reason I went to see the doc was beacause I'd started having hot flashes at night and I knew that hadn't been happening so it was time to regulate the hormones. So now I'm a little less hormonally imbalanced.
Have a great day!!!
