Progress

Nov 02, 2012

On October 23rd I had my five month checkup.  I have lost 57.7 pounds and have 27 more pounds to go to reach doctors goal for me.  I can hardly believe five months have gone by since surgery. I have went from a size 20 to a size 12.  I am so glad I did this.  I just wish I would have been aware of surgery options sooner.  They increased my vitamin A 10,000 units.  My nails became soft and all of them cracked off over night.  They are broken off right into the quick of my fingers.  I got me some " Hair, Skin and Nails" pills at Costco to help rebuild the nails.  Our vitamins are so important.  My knees no longer crack and pop, and my hip no longer hurts from walking.  There are plus' and minus' to every decision. Following your doctors orders is what everyone must do.  I would be happier if my legs and thighs had lost a lot more weight.  They are still too big.  I do have 27 more pounds to go.  Maybe more will drop off.  I wish great success for everyone trying weight loss surgery as their tool to a healthier life.
