First Dr Appointment

I had my frist follow up Doctor appointment yesterday and I received a clean bill of health.  Everything was well ahead of schedule.  My overall blood pressure was 123 / 83 which was a great improvement from presurgery.  In addition, he cleared me for all activities that I would like to do (weight lifting, golf, etc.)  He has been very surprised with the results of surgery using the robot and at how quickly patients are recovering from surgery.  I had also asked him at what rate I could expect to loose wight  He said that most patients typidally drop around 20 lbs per month for the first 4-6 months.  In my case, with my height and build, he would expect that I could drop about 30 lbs per month in that same period of time.

This morning I weighed in at 347 lbs.  That is 27 lbs total and 12 lbs since the surgery.
