I had my 6 month post-op check up at Vandy today (actually 6 months will not be until Oct. 28). The Doc and Nutritionist were extremely pleased with my results thus far and told me I am doing great.
Lab results should be back in a few days.

My weight today was 230 lbs., - a total loss of 136 lbs. since my consult on February 9, and 103 lbs. lost since my surgery on April 28. My BMI is 33. They were extremely pleased with my body fat percentage - I am only 6 points from "normal". Looks like the exercise - weight training and walking - is really paying off.

Pants size - 36", down from 50".
Shirt size is large, down from 3X.
Shoe size is now 11 1/2 EEE - was a 12 EEEE (Yep, I've even lost fat in my feet!)

I gotta tell ya folks, WLS is the best thing I have done to regain my health and happiness since my heart attacks 6 years ago!!

BamaBob54 ROLL TIDE!!!

Way to go Bama! Sounds like everything is going as planned! The biggest thing for me was pants sizes. While in Gatlinburg I bought some new pants that were a size 34 down from 54!

Congrats, Scott
