The Reindeer are Happy. Santa's Losing Weight

8/10/06 - WOW Three months out of Surgery Today @ 475. That's 85 pounds gone since May 10th and 125 since Christmas'05. I've just approved with changes the article that OH is going to place in an upcoming issue of their Magazine. And off to the 2006 Obesityhelp Conference next week in Fort Lauderdale, FL. But Good News, the top hole of the Hernia Incision wounds has healed over and the bottom hole is closing and will be healed shortly, per my Surgeon, Dr. Rehnke. Insides is still open (about 5 cm) but very clean so if it closes the insides should be fine without anything to cause it to re-infect it's self (if it does it'll just re-open and the healing process would start all over). Hoping sealed before the Conference so I can enjoy a dip in the YMCA's and hotels pool. So I've begun to search for another Part-Time job. As I am walking much further and faster with a spring to my step, now without stopping to rest. Woohoo. I'm very happy. I don't go back to see Dr.Rehnke for two weeks now. That's how positive he is! More as my progress poceeds, Mike Progression pictures have been added to my OH Profile too! http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=E1112539867

Congrats are in order on a many level - but most importantly on the tremendous weight loss. WTG!! Also, congrats on making the magazine OH. T hat's wonderful and quite exciting espicially being that you're only t hree months out. I just skimmed your profile - huge difference. WAY TO GO! Keep up the great work. Enjoy your time at the conference.

That's excellent progress Michael - great job!!! Ruth 'To live without risk is to risk not living'
