Check In Time For Our December Patients, Please

In the M.F. Surgery List of December surgeries, we had no less than 10 or so scheduled for then, which, IIRC, was a record month for us since I started doing the monthly list ..

  So, how did your surgeries come out, if you'd care to share (and haven't already), gents?  

I had surgery on December 14 and it is going great!!

Started solid foods today and I have lost 50 pounds thus far.

RNY on December 1st.... down 65 pounds since that day.

Outstanding job, guys ..  Sounds like you're both well on your way!   

Hey guys ! Im doing fine. Lost two shirt/pants sizes and Im 50lbs less. I admit I was slacking on the protiens and was thinking that the mier morsals I was eating was goin to get me my protien___ WRONG. So the past week Ive been tanking on the protien shakes and the energy level has spiked. I tried to get back to work in 4 weeks but My job is a physical one and the Doc says not till 6 weeks. No heavy lifting. Tomorow I see the DS Doc and also go for a company physical for clearance. Im going bonkers at home.Also at 40lbs loss I have stopped using my CPAP. so far so good with the sleeping. Looking forward to the summer to do traveling and fun things...   Steve  

 Sounds like you're on track, Steve ..    btw, was your surgery open?   That length of time off sounds about right for open surgery, if a physical type job ..   

No I had a Lap surgery but there was prior scar tissue so instead of the usual  5 incisions I had 10!   But its all good because I got cleared today to return to work Yay !!!!  My co workers think Im nuts for goin back on a Fri but Im soooo  glad I am!    Steve
