So I go to the Doctor

For my weight loss check up. Every three months I've gone since beginning my weight loss last September.

I love my Doctor. Have a massive crush on my Dr. But that is beside the point. Just wanted to toss that in.

My Dr. is also very honest. In being honest as he is, I get the "good" with the "bad" in his views/opinions, what have you.

So anyhow, I've basically reached my goal weight. But I have questions. Because I've lost so much weight in 9 1/2 months (2 lbs from 70 lbs loss so far), I had questions I wanted to ask, and did.

First my Doctor kept saying how good I looked (thank you). Then said how "massive" I used to be. (er- well thanks Doc). Then I posed to him the big question. All this excess skin I have. Can it be taken care of surgically or should I hire a personal trainer? Maybe the exercises I'm doing are not the correct type for getting excess flesh off a person.

He looks me over, says that I'm exactly like a gastric bypass person, but that my skin has really shrunk well, and will continue to do so. (Good news). He said no surgeon would touch me because I am looking good. (Good news). I grab the various amounts of excess flesh around me, and my arms look awful, and he says, (this is good news dept again) that my skin will continue to adjust to my new weight, to give it time. Said also that building muscles in my arms is really the only way to get rid of that old person look of sags etc.

He also orders up a battery of blood tests to make sure my body is doing well with all the changes that this massive weight loss has produced. (oh, he wouldn't believe I eat. I told him I do. Just eat "better" now).

But! Now listen to this!! I mean, really. He goes and gets me thin. (Well, I get me thin but I'd never have been able to do it if it weren't for him). Ok, back to my point.

He asks me how my "marriage" is doing. I say, "ask me how my affair is going". So he does. THEN!!! Yes, here it comes!!

He says, "you let him (the affair guy) see you NAKED like this?" "yes" I say.

EXCUSE ME??? Ok. So the dear Dr has helped me LOSE the weight, but now says I should not show my body?? LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!!

PS.. keep lights off when having sex with the excess flesh all over the place! Just an FYI. :)
