New Photo

I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by. Next weekend I will be posting my new Sept. 2010 photos in my good old green shirt. Be on the look-out for that.

 

This month is full of doctor's appointments for me. I am again cancelling the appointment for my first fill this Thurs. Still don't think I need it.

 

I have an appointment for a colonoskopy consultation:eek:. Yes, I have put it off as long as I can, now my doctor's are yelling that it has to be done. So, in order to schedule the test for the week of October 11th I have to go meet the doctors and give them my medical history. How fun is that?

 

Then I have to get my mammogram and ultrasound:mad:. It will take have the time it usually does since I had a mastectomy on January 5th of this year...I know, sick humor. I am a little nervous about it, but I will keep good thoughts.

 

Then I get to see my oncologist. I love this woman more than I can say:tt1:. She is absolutely the best. I hope she tells me the mammogram and ultrasound tests went well and all is good for another year. Once you have been told you have breast cancer, every mammogram is a scary proposition.

 

OK, so I have been doing really well with the lap-band so far. I am down to 223.4 and feeling really well, except I have some kind of lump on the bottom of my left foot and 2 corns on my right foot, so when I'm on the treadmill, my feet start to bother me. My sneakers are New Balance shoes and I have been wearing them for a couple of months, so I know they fit well. I guess I now have to make an appointmtnet with a podiatrist:cursing:.

 

When it rains it pours, but I am losing weight, not hungry between meals so I am still a happy puppy.

:tt2:

Doctors . . can't live without them . . .but so time consuming. I pray all of your appointments go well. And I hope your foot straightens around soon, I dealt with blisters a few years ago when I was walking and losing weight - turned out my shoes were actually too big - as I had lost weight, I needed a smaller size, even though it was only over the course of a couple of months - who knew? I am finding myself in the same boat as you as far as a first fill - just don't need it yet and feeling great. Best wishes and God Bless!!

You have overcome a lot to get here. I wish you all the best on your tests and results. My tennis shoes got too big -- agree with marw. Is it possible they are rubbing? You are doing so fantastic; keep the faith :-).

Can't wait to see your pictures! As for you pushing out your fills..don't worry about it. I know one lady who didn't have her first fill until 8 months out. I am 12 lbs away from reaching my final goal...I am seriously planning on writing my first blog at that time and going to include before and after pictures. As for your feet..your feet do lose weight so your shoes might be too big and could be rubbing wrong?? Take care! Can't wait for the pictures!!
