What will I look like?
Sep 27, 2012
I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos lately from people that have lost a lot of weight through gastric bypass. The ones showing skin are the ones that most intrigue me. Borderline obsessive really! But I have thought a lot about what I will look like once I lose the weight. I have always been big and have never seen the adult skinny version of myself. When I first started on this path of weight loss I didn't even think about looks. Just getting healthier and fitting in seats better. But now that this is an actual reality, I wonder about looks... I know in clothes I will look pretty darn good - but what about under the clothes? I know its going to be bad!! I weigh 370 lbs and my goal with my surgeon (for now) is 200 lbs. But my ideal weight for my height is 143 max! I know that the extra skin will add up too so maybe 170-ish. I just cant wrap my head around that.I go back to the surgeons office on October 9th and I think they will be happy. I have completed everything I needed to do - almost! I have completed the pulmonary function test, sleep study, got my pulmonary and cardiac clearance, went to a support group, PCP has written my letter of recommendation, and of course blood work. The only two very small things left is to see my other PCP from 2010 to get my weight history. And my psyche eval is also on October 9th. The psyche doctor works with my surgeon in the same office so I will officially have every little thing done by the time I see the surgeon!
My hubby's much better insurance also kicks in October 1st so I am hoping that the surgeons office can send off for approval once I see him!!! How exciting is that?!?! The new insurance company says that decisions are made very quickly too. And then we just schedule... I cannot wait!!
