We just returned from Dallas a couple hours ago. Her surgery was Monday evening. She stayed an extra day do to bladder issues. They had to put a cath in yesterday morning. They took it out this morning, and finally about 2pm things started working. We were looking at spending Christmas in the hospital if she didn't pee today....180 miles later, were back home in time for Christmas.

I think I'm more nervous than she is....Very excited for her though....

Last week I celebrated 1 year...I have lost about 125lbs. My BMI has gone from 42 down to 29. I am ever so thankful for my sleeve. It has greatly changed my life for ever.

Doing great. Had a little setback last month though. I had to have a pacemaker put in. This was due to a bout of MRSA I had gotten during spinal surgery back in late 2008. Apparently it got to the nerve that controls heart rate. My bpm was getting down in the mid to low 40's. Now its a min of 70bpm. I feel like a new man. Every morning I'm out in the garden or working in the garage...Feeling just awesome.

I had my 7 month checkup yesterday. All was great. Down 65lbs since surgery, 100lbs overall. Don't have to go back until my 1 year anniv in August.
