I am NOT a failure!!

So I have my one year check up today with my surgeon's nurse, and I am a little nervous that she might see me as a failure!!  :(

First of all when I saw her at my 6 month check-up she told me she wanted me to be at 140 and I am at 169 (which is MY goal for myself). That's still 122 pounds lost! Sheesh!

Also she told me she wanted me to wait for 2 years to get pregnant, but after doing lots of research I found that 2 years isn't necessary!

So I'm a little nervous that she might shake her head at me! Ahhh!!  Oh well, in my eyes I made my goal, and waited a year to have a baby (which was hard in itself)

I AM A GASTRIC BYPASS SUCCESS DANG IT!!!   

Thanks for letting me rant a little....   :)

 I thought my surgeon was going to yell at me for getting pregnant prior to my 1 yr follow up.  We discussed at my 6 month appointment TALKING about coming off my birth control after seeing him at my 1 yr.  He prefers you wait 18 months.  I was not trying to get pregnant, it just happened.

He really surprised me by congratulating me and asking for pictures when the baby gets here!  He felt my 130lb loss was great for 12 months and that I did want to have a child so there was no need to be upset.  

Hopefully your surgeon's nurse will be just as happy.

haha I will personally smack your doc if she has ANYTHING negative to say. Channel, you know how successful you have been, so own it, you've done nothing wrong

PS. 6 weeks already? YAYAYAAY!!!!

Thanks girl!!  Yeah I feel VERY good about how I have done over the past year, I just hope she feels the same! LOL!

You're good, don't worry. Tell her is she is so upset about those last 30 lbs she is welcome to pay for lipo as a baby shower gift.

I currently weigh 220 lbs (my lowest weight was 190) and my Doctor considers me a complete success.  Even with the 30lbs of baby weight I have packed on I still lost a total of 150 lbs!!!

You go girl!

Your no failure you made your goal thats all that matter.What ever makes you happy.
For my two year check up I didn't go in and see my surgeon I did do my blood work and was sent to them.All my blood work through out my pregnancy goes to them and they call me if any concerns.

You have done great!!

You certainly are!  Congratulations on your weight loss success - amazing!  Even more, congrats on your little bun in the oven!  Superstar!
