*giggle*

As you probably read already, today is my surgiversary. I also had my 12 month visit today too and it was AWESOME!!! They use those fancy scales that calculate everything and I noticed it said she programmed in I was 5 foot 8 inches. So I told her I didn't think I was that tall anymore. I've noticed my pants are so long and actually bought petite jeans the other day. Well I was right. I shrunk 2 1/2 inches since surgery!!! It doesn't surprise me (even though it surprised the whole staff) because my shoe size changed 2 sizes ...and my head isn't as big, well not in that way LOL!

Here are my measurements. It seems more exciting than my actual weight loss.

Pre-Op                                 Post-Op
Shoulders 46 inches              36 Inches
Chest 46 inches                    35 inches
Waist 53 inches                    28 1/2 inches (wow)
Hips 53 inches                      37 inches
Thighs 25 inches                   19 inches
Biceps 15 inches                   10 inches
