Sandygirl's Switched !! and a % loss question

[Guest guest]

Hi....will try to keep this short and sleep as it is

almost 3 am and I will be up in 2-3 short hours to go

to work !! Sandy is switched......It all happened

this morning at 7 am in Delano, CA under the skilled

hands of Dr. Keshishian. One of her closest friends,

, was switched in the afternoon, also by Dr.

Keshishian.......I got to see her when I arrived in

Delano for the meeting at 5:00 and she looked

great....already had taken a walk and was lounging in

her awesome lift recliner, with her private duty nurse

and Mom (24 hr 1-1 nurse and private nurse is

automatic protocol for all of Dr. K's patients...Dr.'s

Orders !) She Just Could Not Stop Grinning ! Said

she got a shot of Torodol and really didn't need

it....(I warned her ....never turn down good

drugs...LOL). I then went to the meeting and heard an

Endocrinologist from USC speak....and went back and

snuck in the back door of the hospital to see her

before leaving (Cassandra was my partner in

crime)....we of course ran directly into Dr. K....who

thought my car needed a jump again....(you oldtimers

remember that saga ?)...Anyway...Sandy was still

grinning and even rose to my challenge of taking her

THIRD walk !!! The nurse couldn't keep up with

her.....oxygen, IV, Drug hit machine, ng tubing,

catheter, et al in tow !!!!! She was a true

inspiration at approximately 12 hours post op....the

other side is certainly suiting her Just Fine !

Welll...............just had to share......another

successful switch !!! (of course those who know me

know that I had a few choice words with my dear doc

about my slow loss......ya, I know.....Rome was not

built in a day and all that crap ! LOL....the scales

was my friend tonight though,......down to 59

lbs...now tomorrow I will analyze the fat to muscle

ratio.... Anyone care to share their % loss at about

4.5 months out ? # lbs lost at 4.5 months / start

weight ? Thanks- Peace- JJ

I've lost 80 pounds 4-1/2 months out. I was 340 and 5'10 " . I'd guess my

goal is about 170 so on a percentage basis that would be a goal loss of 170

pounds so the 80 pound weight loss would be about 47% of my excess weight.

That leaves a long way to go but it's sure a good start. And remember, men

tend to lose more quickly than women.
