My Weight Loss Surgery Journal

May 2003

5/12/03 - I had my 6 month check-up with the surgeon on May 5th. My lab work is looking good. I can can cut back my B-12 supplement to twice a week instead of every-other-day because my B-12 level is so high. My iron looks good too, so I'm supposed to cut back my iron to one a day instead of two.

And, I'm now at 197 lb. That's a loss of 78.6! And my BMI is now down to 29.7! Woo Hoo!!!

I went on a business trip last week and fit in the airline seat with room to spare. I had a good 8" left of the seatbelt after it was hooked...I remember the days when I had to ask for an extender! Wow, did that ever feel good! And the tray table fit across my lap with room underneath it! It was awesome!

The ticket lady at United seriously questioned if I was REALLY the person on my driver's license. I must admit, I really don't look much like that person any longer! Good riddance to the 'old me' for sure!

I ordered new, smaller glasses in a different shape. Can't wait for them to come in.

I was even able to buy 2 new dresses in a SIZE 16! Oh man! It's been over 30 years since I was able to wear that size! And I got some capri's and jeans in a size 14/16! Life is truly good!
