Gord, you mentioned in your blog that you thought you would likely lose at least ten pounds. I’ll be interested to hear the final tally. I lost thirty on a rather sveldt, toned, cut body – OK I lied about the body, but not about the thirty pounds. I’ve heard of others who have lost more but losing ten will not be much trouble, I suspect. I don’t know how many pounds they remove on the table itself since I was asleep at the time and could not concentrate. But after five to seven days without solid food, well, the weight seems to disappear. I must confess in the two and a half years since surgery, I have gained back twenty of the thirty, but I seem to have stalled there so ultimately the ten pounds has remained off.
One other thing…if your wife could post on this site after your surgery we’d love to hear how things have gone. If she prefers to email separately, I know Jack Moon would post it for her, or I would or…or…or. Because this is all about us, you see!
Oh, and don’t post a photo of the staples that close the incision. You’ll have those guys who collect scrap metal showing up in your room to steal them from you.
Just trying to be helpful…
