Update and Pics

Well its been almost a month since I updated this site. I don't know if anyone reads it, but at least I'm posting.

I've been to two doctors this past week. One of them was the surgeon and he was pleased with my progress. Their scale and mine finally matched and it put me at 41 pounds lost. I stayed at that weight for a week and I weighed again on Sunday and lost 4 more pounds. Just for the heck of it I weighed on this Tuesday and lost 1 more pound so that puts me at 46 total pounds since the surgery, but a total of 84 pounds since October. The doctor said not to have the nurses pack the incisions any more so they will close and that he would see me in two months. The smaller of the incisions have already closed and the other is not far behind it. The nurse feels that it should be closed by this Friday.

The other doctor I saw was the Heart doctor. He was also pleased with my progress and is slowly taking me off one of my heart medications. I need to take a half a pill twice a day for a week and then cut it back to a half a pill once a day for a week and then I'm off of it. Yeah!

The physical therapist said that I am doing good. I'm walking more and doing some exercises. I have bought me some tension bands and working with them. I had a friend at church take a few pictures of me today so that I could post them. My clothes are getting big on me, especially the tops.


The picture of me in the tan top was taken this fall before the surgery and the pics in the black top was taken today March 19th. Hope you all like them. I'll try to keep this updated better and with more pics.
