6 month f/u w/ Dr. P - ThinnerTimes

Passing with all flying colors. My EKG is normal again. I'm going to have the sleep study redone too and a f/u lipid panel. My b/p and pulse rate are back to normal. I even was well enough to give blood. I now have proof that the surgery works to improve your health, along with your image. I told Dr. P that I wanted to try out for Extreme Makeover or the Swan. He said I'm too pretty for those shows. I said, well, I could try and look frumpy. To which he replied that I can't mask how good I look. He was quite pleased that I lost so much so quickly, as I was a lightweight to start off. My BMI is now 25 vs 41. Per Dr. P charts, I've lost 84 lbs. Per my scale, it's 94 lbs. My pre-op appt was 2 weeks berfore surgery, so i had gained a few lbs by surgery. I like my scale much better, as I can weigh myself butt naked at the same time each week vs wearing jeans and shoes at the office. I'm counting every ounce!
