I'm 4 weeks out today. I've had some great things happen. I've lost a total of 38 pounds, 19 pre op and 19 post op. 10.5 inches of fat man are gone. Mr. Happy looks longer because the "awning" covering him is smaller. I got out of my van on Saturday at a customers place and my shorts hit the ground. Best of all are in the pictures below.

I went to Hawaii in 2005 and 2015.

This is 2015. That is a 4x shirt that looks like I was wearing a tent. Apparently a 4 man tent...

In 2005 I wore this 3x. I put it on last weekend and it fit great! The pair of jeans that I'm wearing I literally had to pray, lay on the bed and exhale completely to get zipped. Saturday they fit beautifully.

Also I was having blood pressure issues since April. Guess what? NO MORE! 20160918_071932_zpsjpnx6ygq.jpg

@ Congrats!!! You are looking extremely handsome - you forgot to mention that! :-)

I certainly wouldn't go that far but thank you!

I should also add that it hasn't been perfect. I struggle to get my Water in everyday. Heck I can't even drink plain water. My exercise isn't as well as I would hope but isn't bad. My back also hurts from posture change. I dream of having a nice turd. Either way 90 plus percent is pretty damn good.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
