Six month post-op check today
Saw my surgeon this morning and he says that things are progressing very nicely! Down 81lbs since surgery and 96lbs since I first saw him. My bp was 116/74 how cool is that? He said I need to do more exercises to tighten my abdominal muscles. Who'd have guessed that?
He did have some bad news. He won't be performing any more WLS, the hospital is cutting the program because of the difficulties in insurance approval. But he will continue to provide follow-up care for all his patients. They (the hospital) are even talking about not sponsoring the support group anymore. Why is it everything has to be about money?
At least I know I can come here for support when needed. Thank you, all of you for that!
