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.

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

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.

I didn't catch thru my scan info on employment but I'm hoping you found yourself a job with much less stress!

You should be quite proud of yourself. Taking control of you life and doing what you had to to move it to a better place is ... an inspiration.

Keep up the good work.
