Fart like there's no tomorow!
My six month post-op check up with the surgeon's office is coming up in a couple of weeks and my bariatric doc told me to get all my blood work done here locally a couple of weeks before my appt with him, so that they'll have time to get the paperwork faxed to them and go over it prior to my arrival. So anyway, I go see my personal doc today and give her the prescript from the bariatric doc that's got all the blood tests listed that they want done and explain what I need. Now ya gotta understand that my personal doc is a little Philapina woman, about 4'10" and 100 lbs and very, very attractive for a woman in her 40's. I would love to hear her say, in her little sing-song accent, "me luf you long time, Joe", but that's a whole different story. So anyway, she's asking me how much I've lost, and how my journey's been going (I haven't seen her since late December). Here in a minute she says, "You need to buy new shirt. This one way to big. No one can tell how good you look." It wasn't as cool as hearing "fucky-sucky long time" but it felt pretty darn good. So I guess I better break out the 2x's before I go back to see her the next time.
I gotta get a DOT physical in August. I'm kinda lookin' forward to the hernia check this time.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
Once you hit 50,
Get a female doctor.
You’ll appreciate those small fingers
when it comes time for the prostate checks.
Congrats on having your doc throw the-
“…how Good You Look” line.
And you didn’t consider it sexual harassment?
Keep up the great work, And buy those smaller shirts! Best Wishes- Dx

I'm back in to the walking. My knee was too swolen and inflamed during most of April to walk much, but it let up around the 27th or so and I've been hitting it pretty consistently since. I told my doc about it today and she bent both of my knees back and forth a couple of times with one hand on top of my kneecap to feel how it was working and she said that both of them were inflamed. She could feel the inflamation causing some grinding and cracking through the kneecaps. We talked about taking anti-inflamitories and I told her I'd like to talk with my bariatric doc about it before I let her prescribe me any. They're pretty hard on a regular stomach, much less a reconstructed one. So I may go back and see her after my 6 month post-op consult if he tells me I can take them. But the bad one has loosened up enough that I'm able to put 3-4 miles per day on it. I've probably gotten in about 16-17 this week.
