Yesterday was my first post-op appointment with my surgeon. It was very brief and to the point. I guess that's the thing when you deliberately choose a surgeon for being one of the best surgeons without caring about his/her personality or bedside manner. He's very efficient, but that doesn't leave a lot of room or time for coddling me. I'm actually okay with that. I had a brief fight with cancer five years ago and I was glad to have the best surgeon. I never saw him smile until my very last visit with him post-op. I didn't mind sacrificing warm, fuzzy feelings for cold, clinical ability.
Anyways... the appointment went well. I weighed in and was given a sheet that explained what I could expect between now and the next appointment. Then I spoke to my surgeon for a few minutes, he made sure I was doing okay and asked if I had any questions. I really didn't. I've been researching this surgery for two+ years now so I could probably be a coach for it. And that was it. It was probably my quickest doctor appointment ever.
And here are the stats:
Weight 234.5 lb (down from 254 @ my initial consult)
BMI 42.9 (down from 46.5 @ my initial consult)
Fat % 48.3% (down from 50.5%)
Fat Mass 113.5 lb (down from 128.51)
FFM 121.0 lb
So there you have it! I'm hoping to take some pics this weekend and post them. I can tell I've lost weight by looking at my face, and also along my upper torso.
