my update

hey everyone.  i went to two doctor visits today.  i was taken off of two diabetic meds, halved the other one, and halved  the blood pressure pills.  doc said at this rate, i'll probably be off of everything in 3 weeks.  i'm down 15 pounds.  not too shabby for 8 days post-op.  i'm riding my bike around the neighborhood, and walking a little on my glider.  still a little sore from surgery, but am soooo stoked. this is an awesome tool and another chance for health that i've been given.  the surgeon was also very impressed and happy for my recovery.  thanks to everyone that has taken the time to update on this forum.  i know it has helped me already, and will continue to do so thru this incredible weight-loss journey.  sincerely, martha

Not too shabby? THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME AND AMAZING! Your recovery is picture-perfect -- I'm so happy for you. Keep up the great work. Frances

thanks.  i am now able to ride three to four miles a day on my outsde bike. i divide it up. some in the a.m. and some in the p.m.  keep me posted on how you're doing.  martha
