Thumbs up 3-month check up

I had my 3-month check up today. All in all the visit went well. I have lost 90 pounds so far and I can't believe it. I know a lot of it has to do with me being nauseas all the time and not wanting to eat too much. It has gotten better recently. Kelly prescribed a different medication for the nausea which I'm to take 4 times a day. So far, so good. I need to get a bunch of blood tests to rule out some things and it may mean that I get a scope down my throat too. Not something to look forward to. All I can say to those of you thinking about this is to hang in there and remember what the reward in the long run is. By the way, I went from a 44 waist to a 36 so far. Haven't been there since before I played tournament paintball! Due to my wife being on me, I can keep moving on and I hope you all have the same kind of support I have at home. She keeps me on the straight and narrow!

Bill,

Congratulations! Awesome success! I hope you're taking your vitamines!

Good luck with the upcoming procedures, hopefully you won't need them.

Congrats on your progress, Billy! It's been a tough road for you, but at least you are able to see the bright spots.

Tournament paintball, huh? I used to play competitively, oh about 18 years ago! hehe They called me Black Widow, I only shot pink paint. That's another one of those things I'll have to add to my "to do" list now that I have energy again. Oh wait, I forgot, I may be getting skinnier, but I'm still OLD! ;p

Best of luck with your tests!

my husband goes paintballing once a month. He just loves it. He is talking about having a get together with a bunch of friends us invited too. I don't know I spend my life trying to get out of pain. I am not sure I want to go to a situation were people will be shooting at me.

Bill, Congrats of the fabulous job. You must be so proud.
