DMV/New Picture/NSV



Recommended Posts

after 100 lb weight loss, I wanted new picture for drivers license

talked to clerk about my wt loss and WLS - he told me he had gastric bypass 5 years ago (small world)- and except for about 5-10 lbs he sometimes teeters with, he's doing great (water, Protein et al - doing terrific) - he lost 170 lbs and he looked great

even though clerk didn't have the sleeve, its nice to see someone "long term" post WLS - continue to be successful

i have heard some people do gain all their weight back, i guess that can happen to any of us :angry: (not to me of course!!! ;) )

he called other clerk over, showed my old license to her - they both couldn't believe it was me!!! :)

If i do say so myself ( and I do!!!) my new picture is pretty darn good - all modesty aside i DO look great :lol: - feel great too ;)

I agree that you are an inspiration to us all. Also, getting a new driver's license is an NSV I hadn't even considered yet--thanks for giving me one more thing to look forward to!

Congrats Grammy :) That's probably the only way you'd get me to a DMV voluntarily prior to renewal LOL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
