Hi Dr. Davis....his response...Hi Mr & Mrs Skinny!

First let me start out by saying sorry for the late update on Chris's Dr appointment on last Thursday. Everything went great! As we were walking down the hall to the exam room Dr. Davis was walking towards us and he said and I quote "Wow look at Mr & Mrs Skinny Nord walking towards me! You both look like a million bucks!" We both cracked up and said, not skinny yet but well on our way. Now back to the details of Chris's visit, his new weight is 314 lbs thats 25 lbs lost since surgery and a grand total of 65 lbs so far. Dr. Davis laughed and said between the 2 of us we have lost a whole person. When you hear it put that way it really makes you realize how far you have come. Everything for Chris checked out great and Dr. Davis said to keep up the great work. He talked to us about the new website his office is starting and said he would love for us to give some testimonials on there with pics and we said we would be happy to. We told him about the blog and his new website when it is launched will have a place to link your blog to his website so that new and past patients can contact people for support. We were also excited to find out that the monthly support groups now take place at his new office instead of having to go all the way to the medical center. So we will officially go to our first support group on 8/18. We are excited about this step in the process as this is something that Chris did not do the first time around. We both are now on the same Dr schedule which makes things much easier. He said that we can both come in on 8/20 for labs...that means 10 vials of blood each! Yuck....but it will be worth it to know that all of our levels are correct and that we don't have any problems. On Thursday of this week Chris will be officially released to eat anything without restriction that he can handle. This of course means sticking to a low fat low calorie diet but now he can have baked chips and raw veggies and things along those lines. So he is very much looking forward to that. We are both doing well and we are getting ready to go to San Antonio for a long weekend the weekend of my birthday. Its not only a celebration of my birthday but also our success on this new journey in life. Before I sign off let me take a moment to thank each of you again for your prayers during this journey. They have definitely paid off and we are doing great. Until next time....Blessings to each and everyone of you.
