My First Post-Op Appointment

I had my first follow-up appointment today and am definately feeling very much better.  I weighed 218 lbs but I don’t remember what I weighed when I had my first appointment, I think it might have been either 234 or 237, but even if it was 234, I’ve lost 16 lbs which is pretty significant for a two week period.  That is very encouraging to a person who was, last night, in tears and upset about experiencing that nasty dumping syndrome… at least I think that’s what it was.  My heart was racing 112 beats per minute which really freaked me out.  And I didn’t even eat anything that would cause that. I’ve been very good about sticking to the stuff they’ve recommended.  Anyway, I’m encouraged. 

I got the staples out and that hurt, but not as much as I expected.  It was just overall reassuring to see the doctor and be considered to be doing well.  I tend to worry if left to my own devices.
