Hi there, went to the doctor for a check up yesterday. He was very pleased with my progress. He said that he wanted the nurse not to pack so much into the incisions or they will never heal. So I called the nurse and told him to call up to the office to get new orders from his nurse. Said that I could start lifting again, so I can start babysitting again. I can also do more exercising. He suggested arm exercises and bicycling and of course walking. Dr. Camacho was telling Judi and I about his friend Dr. Garth Davis (from the show Big Medicine) and I told him that is where I got the idea of having the surgery. He said that Dr. Davis wanted him to come to Houston and work with him, but he said that he thought he was going to go to New York instead. Judi told him he couldn't go anywhere until I was all better. He said he wasn't going yet. Their practice is having a seminar this coming Tuesday at the Harlingen Country Club to inform people about gastric bypass, I'm going to go to it. Dr. Camacho won't be there but Dr. Reyes and Paula Kilgore will be. Paula is the Bariatric Coordinator at the hospital and has had the bypass herself, she is really nice.
I'm going to start doing my volunteer work again this coming week. I went to lunch yesterday to Boog-a-dee-boos with the family. I took my lunch and they heated it up for me. Next week we go to Big John's so that will be interesting. I will take my food and hopefully they will also heat it up for me, but they normally have some kind of soup on their menu or I could do a baked potato. Well that is all for now, I have lost a total of 30 pounds since the surgery. The doctor said that 10 pounds a month would be a good but if it was more that was okay. My tops are getting really loose and my pants were always loose. I will get some pictures soon and post them. Thank you all again for your prayers.
