5-months out check-up

Had my 5-month appts with NP, dietitian, and SW.  All is well.  I've lost 80 lbs, not 82, but that's because my starting weight was 2 lbs. less than I thought!  My bloodwork results were not all in, so we had no results on that - had to have more blood drawn, and they'll call me with results of there's anything important to tell me.  I'm not getting enough protein, so I've got to step it up, as well as increase my fluids a bit more.  I've lost 21cm from my waist since measurements a week after surgery, as well as 20cm around the hips, same timeframe.  Wish I had taken measurements when I was at my highest weight, b/c I'm sure I've lost more than that.  My BMI started at 51.5, and is now 37.  I'm very happy.  I think I saw Nancy from Fort Frances in the waiting room, but I was shuffled from room to room very quickly and when I was done, she wasn't there.

hooray for you! thanks for the update!

 lol, that's cuz Viv rushed me over for an endoscopy.  I do in fact have a stricture.  Apparently he will inject xray dye into me tomm to see if there is anything going on past the stricture itself.  However, they will try to dialate me if he's able to get his scope down there.  If he isn't able to get the scope in there then I guess we go to plan B in consultation with Dr. Gmora.  The staff has been fantastic at the Regional Clinic and they have been in very close contact with Dr. Gmora.

I'm putting my fate in the hands of the one above and hoping for the best.
I will keep you updated!!
