Almost 9 months post op

Apr 25, 2010

I will be 9 months post op on Wednesday and decided to finally measure myself since the day of surgery (or the night before, who can remember now which it was???).  I have lost a total of approximately 42.5 inches from the various parts of my body plus roughly 67 pounds.  I have been feeling great and not needing to visit the doctor half as much as what I did before.  Any colds I have gotten have been basically just the run of the mill colds.  I may soon try dying my hair again as it is badly needed.  I did try back in January but my hair was damaged quite a bit then so I decided to hold off for a few months to hopefully not to damage my hair any further.  Plus I have been trying to take Biotin to help that as well.  One thing I have noticed in my finger nails is lines that I had not seen pre-op.  I am hoping that will eventually correct itself as well.  I am close to my goals that I had set pre-op and now am really looking at trying to tone up some of the sagging areas.  I have fortunately not had too much extra skin.  The only embarrassing area is my arms, but fortunately that also isn't too bad so I won't be limited to wearing long sleeve shirts.  Overall I am happy with my decision and look forward to many years with the new me!!!
