6-month follow up with surgeon...
Today I had my 6-month follow up appointment with my surgeon. I really tried to get to 90 lbs lost before seeing him, but it wasn't meant to be. However, he was ecstatic with my progress and everything I have been doing. I wasn't sure how receptive he would be to my changing to a keto diet, but he was happy with that as well. He said that at this point, average weight loss is 30-40% of excess weight...but I am at 56% lost!! I was totally surprised, so woohoo!
Had to change my ticker and recalibrate my scale to match the weight there, but still down 85 pounds from surgery. I am one happy camper today! Next visit is my one year checkup!
