I had my 6 month post-op check up at Vandy today (actually 6 months will not be until Oct. 28). The Doc and Nutritionist were extremely pleased with my results thus far and told me I am doing great. 
Lab results should be back in a few days.

My weight today was 230 lbs., -  a total loss of 136 lbs. since my consult on February 9, and 103 lbs. lost since my surgery on April 28. My BMI is 33. They were extremely pleased with my body fat percentage - I am only 6 points from "normal". Looks like the exercise - weight training and walking - is really paying off.

Pants size - 36", down from 50".
Shirt size is large, down from 3X.
Shoe size is now 11 1/2 EEE - was a 12 EEEE (Yep, I've even lost fat in my feet!)

I gotta tell ya, WLS is the best thing I have done to regain my health and happiness since my heart attacks 6 years ago!!

I hope you had your butt pointed toward Tennessee before you let that one rip! 

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Fantastic job my friend.  You are definitely in control of your life now and the world is your oyster as they say.  It is truly amazing how this weightloss totally transforms our lives.  Congratulations and be good my friend.  Keep up the great work and keep pumping that iron.
