Just got home from seeing the surgeon.  I'm three months out and I'm down 77 pounds since surgery!  I was stunned...it took me a minute to do the math!  The doctor also told me that he'd bet I'll lose around another 70 lbs before I see him again in June.  That's 145 lbs! I'll be under 300!! OMG!

Doing the happy dance at my house!!! Come on over!

How fun!!! I especially love to see that a patient of Dr. Chae is doing great - he was a big part of my success, that's for sure! Doing a happy dance with you!!

Hey PJ-  I told Dr. Chae that I really appreciate him always returning my phone calls so quickly and that he'll never know how comforting it is to me just to hear his voice - then I almost burst into tears!!  I thought omg! I sound like I'm stalking the poor guy (no, I've only had to call maybe three times!) and then I'm almost crying on top of it! I'm telling myself that he hears this all the time and lots of patients just spontaneously burst into tears........yeah, that's it! Did I hear you're moving to the Springs!?!?  Welcome! Jana

I had totally forgotten this but at my 3 month appt. I totally balled, complete breakdown. I had lost about the same amount as you and gotten below 300 and was shocked, since I didn't weight myself that much at the beginning. I remember Dr. Chae being so nice - he took my hands and asked me to tell him what I was feeling. I have NEVER seen a surgeon do that - I loved him before that but that just confirmed my absolute admiration for him. What an amazing man he is! I am moving to the Springs, for a few months at least. I'll be commuting to Denver everyday but I'm looking forward to being with my mom.

You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance. -Lee Iacocca

Thank you for the replies.  Guess what I did today?!?!?  I actually made it ALL THE WAY through the grocery store!!! The cart was helping me more than anything towards the end...but I made it.  Haven't been able to do that for a long time...... Jana
