1st Follow-up Visit...10 days post op

Jan 07, 2010

 Today was my first follow-up visit with my surgeon. I weighted in at 305.  That's about 19 pounds so far.  Mostly fluid I suppose.  Dr. says I am doing well and healing nicely.  He said I can start trying to introduce some new things in my diet such as scrambled eggs, crabs, mashed potatoes.  I think I am looking forward to that and pray that I am able to tolerate these new things.  I go back to see him in 2 weeks.

I also went to see my primary care physician today. She was pleased with my bp and sugar readings.  She still wants to see me weekly until we are sure that my sugars are under control and my bp is normal.  

I am very thankful to the Lord for all of this.  I am still sore and still experiencing numbness, tingling and pain in my feet.  I am sure as time passes they will get better.
