I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon this week, 7 months post-op. He told me I'm doing fantastic, should lose about 15 more lbs, and then, looking me dead in the eye and stated, "damn, I did a good job!"

He did, and I did too! I'm in shock daily at how for I've come this year. My head hasn't caught up yet though, and most days I still feel fat, despite what i see in the mirror. I'm OK with that though, because gives me the motivation to keep making good choices and keeps me from being complacent.

My husband and I went out last night to Celebrate our anniversary and we took a picture together (the one on the right, cropped him out for privacy). I just keep staring at it, I can't believe it's me, what I have dreamed of accomplishing all of my life.

Anyway, no real point to this post, other than I feel good, I feel happy, and I just wanted to share that damn, we're all doing a good job!

You look fantastic! Congratulations on doing so well.

I hope when your Dr said DAMN I DID A GOOD JOB, you told him that YOU did a GREAT JOB!!! They give us the tool but we really do the work. lol I had my Panni done in Sept of 2015 every time I went in to see the PS he wanted to take pictures. I told him, You sure are proud of your work aren't you!! He loved it!! BTW You look Awesome!!

@@cdeisroth You look incredible! Great job!!!

You do look good, hope I'm you in 7 months. Of course I'll still be me, but improved and cuter

Again, you look great! Your hair looks good too... any loss yet? I'm terrified of losing my locks.

I've lost about 50% of my hair. It's coming back now, tons of regrowth. I was really upset when it was coming out, but realized there is nothing I can do about it so I just accepted it. Worst months were 2-5 after surgery.

Yikes. Any tricks to hide it? Scalp tint?

My hair is curly so I just blow it out to make it look like it has more body. Also take the Biotin and use nioxin shampoo and conditioner, I swear that is helping the regrowth. Oh, also a shorter cut with layers really helped!
