Down 98 Pounds
May 23, 2007
Hoping to hit the 100lb lost mark by the end of the week. Hope I can do it since I have a very painful stiff neck which is keeping me from exercising.
Lost about 12 inches in my waist so far.
Going to surgeon's office on June 10 for 3 mos. follow-up. Everything is great!
8 Weeks Post-Op
Apr 30, 2007
Eating is a drag. I am never hungry and it is hard to get 80+ grams of protein a day.
Drinking is fine.
Down 80 pounds. (Some of that was pre-op liquid diet, but I don't how much).
Walking a lot and trying to find time to get the the club to ride the excercise bike and lift some weights.

4 Week's Post-Op Today
Mar 29, 2007
Had surgery on March 1, 2007. I have lost 55 lbs. Some of that was from my two-week pre-op diet, but I don't know how much because they did not weigh me before surgery.
Pre-Op Time Line (March 1, 2007 Surgery Date)

January 23, 2007. Went to required education seminar at surgeon's office. Liked the staff and liked the surgeons. Very approachable.
January 24, 2007. Consutlation with surgeon. Nice guy, He get's it.
Surgery scheduled for March 1, 2007, pending insurance approval.
January 27, 2007. Blood panels done.
January 29,2007. Abdomen and liver ultasound completed.
January 30, 2007. Yikes, I received insurance approval. (Having a case manager assigned because of previous problems was a godsend.)
February 2, 2007. Cardiac consult and EKG. Schedule Nuclear Stress Test and Echocardiagram for February 7, 2007.
February 7, 2007. Dobutamine Stress Test today. That was fun - not so much. Followed up by Nuclear Heart Scan.
February 8, 2007. Follow up "at rest" heart scan today.
February 12, 2007. Pre-op consult with internest at surgeon's office. Went over all test results. Everything is ok. It's a good time to have the surgery before things start to get too bad.
