I had my appointment with my cardiologist and she said everything is looking well and to continue exercising as that would benefit overall heart function. Down 11 pounds from where I started my diet. My goal is to lose another 30 pounds and get back to my college weight.

That’s good news. Improving your health before you need surgery can definitely help you with recovery after surgery. I was lucky and had started two years before I even found out I had a problem and had already lost 40lbs.
Congrats on the good news from the doc and the weight loss! The weight loss and exercise will go a long way to preserve your health.
Great job Raul! Glad to hear an update from you.

Received my report for my 2 year echo. No changes from last year and I am looking forward to my cardiologist appointment in a couple weeks. My goal for this upcoming year is to continue losing weight.

Congratulations! My goal is to go to DisneyWorld in the next year too!
