2 Week Follow-up Today

Had my 2 week follow-up at Vandy today.  Here's the results: Weight - 308 lbs., down 22 lbs. from operation date. BP = 128/76, Pulse 66.  No longer pre-diabetic. No longer taking cholesterol medication. No longer taking blood pressure medication. This is all just freakin' unbelievable!!   They said I'm doing great and to keep doing what I am doing. They said I was the first patient they had to ever remove his own staples though (I took em out myself Saturday cause they were itching so bad and I figured 2 days wouldn't make a big difference)!    I also got the all clear to ride my motorcycle in 2 more weeks! I don't want to jinx this, but DAY-UMMM THIS IS GREAT SO FAR!! LIFE IS ALREADY GETTING BETTER!!  WooWhoooooooo!!!!!

BAMA - YOU DA MAN!!!  Congrats on your stellar start and going three for three on kicking your meds to the curb!!  That news rates a big ol' FART rating!! Don

Thanks Don. Hey, I guess that does rate as a FART - my 1st!!!!

Bama, Congrats on the great report.  I had noticed that there was getting to be some wiggle room on the losers' bench and now I know why.  Cause you are a loser who is doing an awesome job.  Keep up the good work.  I know you are looking forward to that first motorcycle ride as the new you. Bill

Hubba J Hubba Bama!

OK BamaBob! I’m a little jealous… Off to an Awesome start! You’re a contender for "WLS Poster Boy!" Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx

Thanks guys! I'm pretty stoked right now for sure! Dx, not sure about the poster boy thing, but I'm sure there 's some who would love to see my photo on a milk carton!!  BwaHahahahaha!!!

What an awesome start!!!!!!!!  Keep it up Bob - all the hard work and dedication will pay off....    Great job getting off your meds so quickly and getting the BP under control.... It's a great ride.... enjoy it..

Right on man way to go. Man that's hard core taking your staples out yourself.  "Staples we don't need no stinking staples"

Great First FART! Just think in two weeks when your riding your bike and someone mentions your saddle bags they won't be talking about the cheeks of your butt! BwaHahaha!!!  C'ya Bob
