Just a short scale update. At my monthly weigh-in on October 22nd I weighed 355.8 pounds . This is 48.2 pounds since my pre-surgery weigh-in of 404.0 pounds and 134.4 pounds since the 490.2 pounds I was at my first weigh-in when I started my weight loss plan.

The Gastric sleeve surgery I mentioned in my earlier post has been scheduled for July 26, 2012 at 10:00am at El Camino Hospital . This is the same hospital I was in last fall when I had Cellulitis in my left leg.
