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.
