2007-July-17 WLS Update
Today is my typical weigh-in day and my weight this morning was 170.8 pounds that is a loss from last week. I find that I am hovering right around the 170 to 175 pounds. This is okay with me I do not mind this weight. Just a brief recap incase your new to my blog. I recommend going the categories box and selecting WLS to see my history. I weighed 325.5 pounds the day of my weight loss surgery performed by Pacific Laparoscopy August 30, 2005.
This morning I had blood drawn for my annual WLS checkup. I went to LabCorp at 7 am this morning and over an hour later they had drew 12 vials of blood. I was giving Lynn a hard time that I was going to run out of blood. At that moment my vain dried up would not produce for that last vial. Lynn and I started to crack up and sure enough we had to stick the other arm for that last vial, ugg.
I will be having my 2 year annual checkup in August. Later that evening I will be the guest speaker at there monthly meeting. I am working on my speech and so far have rewritten it 5 times and have it narrowed down from 5 pages to 1 so far. I struggle with this as I feel compelled to speak about my heart condition along with my WLS. Should be fun and looking forward to helping spread the word.
Have a great day.

I wish you well with your speech. That is an honor, and I know you will do well.

Thanks David, I am thinking about doing bullets of things I want to talk about and then just let it flow. I am more of an off the cuff kind of guy.
Should be interesting and look forward to the opportunity.
Have a great day.

That sounds like a good plan for the speech.
