Nervous!

I go for my 6 month post op appointment today and I'm nervous!   I think I'd feel better if I had a clue what I really weigh, but I don't.  I shouldn't feel this way, I have done very well I think, but dang... Oh well.  I'll post anything of interest when I get home.  I just needed to vent some. Take care. Ellen

Hi Ellen -

Take a deep breath. I think that we all have a bit of nervous excitement when when go in to for one of our checkups. We want to be "doing it right".

You have been. You will do fine and I look forward to hearing the results of your visit.

Take care and be gentle with yourself.

Ellen, you have done so great!  Dr. C will be amazed at how great you look.  let us know how it went!  Alice

Can't wait to hear the great report!

Ellen, I'm sure you will do fantastic! Dr. Chapman should be beaming when he sees you! Be sure and let us know how it goes!!!  :)

Ellen,  I'm still fairly new around here, but after looking at your profile, I think it's obvious that you're doing fabulous!  I can't wait to hear the official great news!

I can totally understand why you are nervous I think it is because we have to face the scales OH HOW I HATE THOSE BLASTED SCALES. Sometimes they can bring us great joy it is a love hate thing with the scales. I think you look wonderful you are doing great.                                   Annie

I am sure you will get a great report.  It was nice to meet you at Catherine's on Saturday.

Oh Ellen, you are the OH POSTER CHILD!!!  He is going to be so bowled over by your beauty he will forget to weigh you and you will have to remind him!

Okay, I'm replying to myself with the update.  Dr. Chapman was very pleased.  I'm down 110 pounds!  It's such a relief to have that part over with.  I guess we can chalk my nervousness up to my head not having caught up with my body yet.  Also, my blood pressure was down to 116/66 as opposed to 140/85 3 months ago.  That in itself was phenomenal! We also talked briefly about plastic surgery.  He says that I have a large amount of excess skin that will have to be removed.  He said that I will probably have 25-30 pounds of it to take off!  Wow!  He refers his patients to a PS at 1 year, but they usually put them off another 6 months to make sure they've stabilized.  That would put me having it around this time next year.  How exciting!! Anyway, that's all I know.  Thanks for putting up with me. Take care. Ellen
