3 Months Already...
I was 3 months post op yesterday, I had my 3 month check up today. I am truely amazed at how much my health has changed for the better in 3 months. I have not have any surgery related issues, which I'm so greatful for.
My current weight loss is a few pounds over 50 lb lost, my new low blood pressure 110/60, and my BMI is 31. Three months ago, I was at a BMI of 41, blood pressure dangerously high with meds, and 50 lbs heavier. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
I had the normal presurgery jitters and they we well founded. I figured out I worry way too much about stuff that's not important. I felt great after surgery, no pain or complications. I returned to work at 3 weeks post op and I've been going ever since.
The story has a twist though, I have a very bad herniated disc, it's gotten worse since my weight loss. I was advised by my dr to get it addressed as soon as possible.
I have chronic back pain it goes into my right foot and toe. I really had this fantasy that the weight loss would allow the disc to heal up for me. Reality set in, in the form of chronic pain (this is a presurgical issue). I am going to the specialist friday.
I might be the next one off my feet for a few weeks. I am unsure what to think now.
I do know that I have great insurance and benefits so I will be fine financially.
Take Care and Enjoy the gift of surgery. It's so worth it.

I lurk all the time, but I don't post often. I never seem to be able to make the meetings either, due to family schedules.
Hi Jennifer,
CONGRATULATIONS on your 3 month anniversity and how well you are doing!!!!! It is great to hear from you even though there is your news of your back pain. I am so sorry you are going through this. But if you do have to have something done, it will be so much easier on you being so much lighter and stronger!!!! That's exciting.
Please let us know what is going on after you see the Dr.
Take care of you!!

Hope everything goes well on Friday for you.
