Hello everyone, I went in for my postop appt. today. The doctor was more thrilled at my progress than I was. He said he thought I would be a whole lot more sore than I was, after having 2 other surgeries added on to my RNY (appendectomy and umbilical hernia). They had already taken me off diabetic meds while I was in the hospital. He said the next one is my BP meds. My bp was 110/60 and it has been that low for well over a month. Right now I am at the 300 lb mark and want it to be lower real soon. He also gave me the ok to go back to work and I am very happy at that. It will get me out of the house and also give me the chance to get back into the YMCA. I started exercise a lot before surgery and I really miss it. Thank you all for being there for me and I love you all very much. Richard

What a star patient you are - you impressed the doctor??? Way to go!!! Congrats on getting off the diabetic meds! Look forward to hearing that you're off the BP meds too AND that you're under 300 - it won't be much longer - maybe a BM or two away!!! LOL!!! Wish you were closer, so I could be your YMCA bud, but keep on working out - it helps the weight just melt away! Keep on keepin' on! Take care, Tracy
