I had my 2 week follow-up at Vandy today. Here's the results:

Weight - 308 lbs., down 22 lbs. from operation date.
Blood Pressure = 128/76, Pulse 66. No longer pre-diabetic.
No longer taking cholesterol medication.
No longer taking blood pressure medication.

This is all just freakin' unbelievable!! They said I'm doing great and to keep doing what I am doing. They said I was the first patient they had to ever remove his own staples though (I took em out myself Saturday cause they were itching so bad and I figured 2 days wouldn't make a big difference)! I also got the all clear to ride my motorcycle in 2 more weeks!

I sure don't want to jinx this, but WOO-WHOOOOOO - THIS IS GREAT SO FAR!! LIFE IS ALREADY GETTING BETTER!!
