Rick 71

Well, I started this jounary almost a year ago. Went to a doctor appt for a check up and talked with her about weight loss surgery. She referred me to the local bariatric surgery clinic at the hospital. I went to all my meetings and appointment with them and was approved for the surgery through my insurance.
On May 4th of this year at 0745 hours I went to sleep and woke up 4 hours later with my new sleeve. I was up and walking by 7 pm that night in the hospital I had a great nursing staff and docotors. I stayed in the hospital for only two days, I had no pain to speak of besides the drain but it wasn't anything really. When I left the hospital I was 318.6 lbs lost on May 6th. Since then I have lost 36.4 lbs putting my at 282.2 lbs as of this morning. My goal is to be at approx. 200-215 lbs I have a large frame and stand 6' 1" so I think that would be a good weight who know maybe I'll shoot for 190.
