Keep chugging along brother!

You may have mentioned this before but how has the weight loss affected your cigar smoking?

None at all Vin, only the first 3 weeks after the surgery I couldn't smoke, but after the initial three weeks I could smoke what I want, when I want, just like before.

stepped on the scale this morning, lost 84 lbs since mid september. I'm getting there! I'm still a big boy with my 305lbs, but just 6 months ago it was much worse.

Great job Ferdie. :tu

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

Good work! :tu

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

Keep it up Ferd. Both you and Simon looked great at the herf, hoping to not recognize either of you at the next one :banger Keep it up

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

had a few appointments at the hospital last week and this week. I lost little over 98 lbs in almost a year time, my bloodwork is all good, cholestorol etc are all within the right margins, blood pressure 128/82, which is fine too. My BMI dropped from 56½ to 42½ which is an awesome drop.

The surgeon wanted to do the second part of the surgery (the actual splitting of the Duo Denum) asap but I decided to wait till after EPIC.

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

I bump this, as this sunday I will report at the hospital again, monday I go under the knife for part two, the splitting of the duo-denum. During my 3 week US trip I lost another 11 lbs, even with Smokin' Gators increddible BBQ, the great Cuban food, the Nicaraguan lunch I had with the Padrons, the Five Guys and Cheeseburger Baby burgers in Miami Beach and all the booze I drank. I'm on 286lbs now

At least the nurse is cute. But she made me shoot my own meds and I hate needles

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

Maybe she doesn't like needles, either, Ferdie. How is she with the sponge? :D

Best of luck on the surgery,

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 

No sponge yet, maybe tomorrow before the surgery.
