3-1/2 Month Post-Op Follow-Up

Well this past Tuesday I had my 3-1/2 month follow-up with Dr. Shina. I have lost 112 pounds (actually 116 as of yesterday) and he seems happy with my progress. He said something about a goal weight of 253 and that I am over halfway there from my pre-op weight of 458. I would like to go down to 225 though. He also started me on injections for B-12 and Thiamine every sixty days. I guess I hit the wrong spot on my left thigh with the B-12 because I have a huge bruise there now. Oh well, I did better with the Thiamine and will be more careful next time. I have been cycling twelve miles each morning and am getting hooked on it. I hope to try raising it to eighteen this next week. It feels great and really burns the calories. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

Wow! I am in awe of your results. You are actually close to my start weight, so that gives me so much hope. I say that a lot when I read post-op stories, but it is so true. I go Jan 8, and it is so much of a help to read about people like you that shed the weight so quickly. Good luck on your continued weight loss. Happy holidays! Cathryn
