RNY update and Hernia repair yesterday

Hi all and a great big howdy from Dalton GA: Well I just got back home last nite from outpatient umbilical Hernia repair and a bit sore and moving slow this morning.(lol  Imagine that) I am so pleased with my post-op progress that I thought I would post today. First let me start by giving all the Praise and Glory to God. With out the prayers of my friends and church family this could not be as well. God has certainly been merciful to me  and I can't thank him enough. I had my RNY on March 28 and my life belongs to me again. I can not say enough about what this has done for me. I started out in a 50" waist and all 3x shirts and now I am proud to announce that I am teetering around 41" in the waist and down to all 1x shirts. My suits all hang on me and it feels so good to wear shoes I could not get into for 2 years due to my diabetic problems, which are in complete remission now. Best of all I feel like getting out and doing normal activities again I am playing golf again,working out in the yard and doing so many other things I had practically given up on. I also feel like traveling again and am back on the ministry trail as I travel thought out the Churches in our Assembly ( I belong to the Church of God of The Union Assembly) evangelizing the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I was at 332 when I saw the Doc in Feb., 317 at pre-op and down to around 254 now. I know that this is not news to most of you guys but I feel free again. Just a short update, I had hernia repair yesterday and doing fine with that too. A little sore this morning but feel well over all. Please keep us in you prayers
