3 month post op appt.
Im so late on this. Work has been so insane I am going to be glad when the Christmas tree buying is over!!!!
Anyway. I had my 3 months post op appt on Tuesday at Geisinger with Dr. Petrick. They were awesome!!
Ive lost 99 lbs!!! So close to a 100 but as far as im concerned its beyond awesome!!
They were more than pleased with my progress and said i look great. Health wise im great! I only have some heartburn now and again. They told me that my belly skin/flub is actaully minimal and that I would get the ok for plastics at my year appt. He said I looked great and was shocked to see i lost so much. We set my goal weight at 155. But Dr said i could easily get down to 125, as far as he concerned!!
I saw his nurse who ended up taking care of me the night of surgery. She was shocked and told me i looked like a whole new person!! The best part was for once i felt like everyone else. I didnt feel uncomfortable or out of place. I felt like a "normal" size person!!
I want to thank everybody on this board for being so supportive and great !!! We are moving in Feb but im still gonna post here!! I cant leave you guys!!

I LOVE posts like this. It shows how far you have come....not just physically...but also starting to feel it emotionally, too. I hope that continues as the emotional battle can be difficult. But enough of that - your post brought a HUGE smile to my face and I am soooo incredibly happy for you!!
You have definately been working the program like it is supposed to be worked, and you deserve HUGE kudos for that.
Congratulations!
