3 Months Post Op - NSVs abound!
Hi All,
Today is my 3 month follow up appointment at TWH. I've lost just over 65 pounds. I feel amazing!
Some NSVs:
- This morning I weighed 214 lbs. The last time I saw this number on the scale was my wedding day in 1996 (Take THAT ex-husband!! lol)
- I am wearing my sz 18 "I will keep these because ONE day God willing I will fit into them again" jeans and they are too big!
- Yesterday I tried on sz 14 jeans and they fit!
- I have a collar bone! I know!!!!! I keep showing all my friends and family. They look at me like I'm insane but it's so beautiful!
- I have a boney bum suddenly
Best decision I've EVER made!
This board is a godsend,
Tricia

Congratulations Tricia! Good for you.i can't wait to feel the same way you are! I'm having my surgery on March 16th alsi with Dr. Timothy jackson. How is his work.? How is his personality?
Keep up the great job that you are doing!
Dr. Jackson is absolutely wonderful. He's got amazing bed side manner, he's very polite and respectful. I've been blessed, had no serious complications beside some nausea and my scars are nice and small and healing very well. You're lucky to have him!

Hi Tricia,
Sorry to bother you again. I was just speaking to thenurse from TWH. I asked her if the surgeon will tell me afterwards how much protein and calories I'm supposed to consume each day. She said that everything is stated in the binder we received. Is this true, will Dr. Jackson not tell me how much protein and calories to take in each day?
Thanks for your help!
