! year follow up visit
Hi everyone. Just wanted to stop by and say that I can't believe it has been 1 year already since surgery. The time just flies by.
I started this journey at 313 lbs, and 1 year later I am now 154. I can't thank my wonderful surgeon Dr. Huyhn at HRRH, as well as the bariatric department for all of the support and continued encouragement they provide.
I get to see the nurse, dietician and social worker tomorrow for my 1 yr check-up, and look forward to seeing them all.
This is the most amazing thing I have done for myself, and want all of the pre ops that search this board to know that you can make this work. It's never an easy journey, but one that you will proud you have taken.
If anyone is at the clinic tomorrow arond 1pm, feel free to say hello.
Have a great night.
