3 MONTH BLOOD WORK
on October 30, 2008 9:33 am
I am officially NOT a diabetic anymore! My A1C was 5.9 which is normal!
That is worth the surg alone!
The fact that I have now lost 81 lbs is great too!
My bloodwork did indicate that I am low on Vit D...so I have added a supplement for that, and low on something else.....that I need to eat green leafy veggies....so I am trying to do that.  Its hard, cuz after you get the protein, theres little room for anything else!
My bad cholesterol was 118....about 90 pts down from a year ago! Thats amazing!
So mostly great news!

3 MONTH SURGIVERSARY!!!
on October 9, 2008 5:06 am
What a 3 months, it has passed quickly. 
I am very pleased with my progress so far.  I have lost 77lbs total since June 1 when my preop diet began. I feel so much more energetic, no hip and knee pain like before.
I barely have clothes left that I can wear, I have some due to the fact that I had multiple sizes, but I am down to the last size of those. That is a GREAT problem to have.
I am on no prescription meds anymore!
I have a wonderful support group of friends and family that encourage me daily. 
I am looking forward to the next 3 months!

2 MONTH SURGIVERSARY
on September 8, 2008 6:02 am
I can't believe its been 2 months! Tomorrow to be exact.  I have lost a grand total of 61 lbs since the start of my preop diet on June 1.
I feel much better, and have so much more energy. I have had several NSV, but yesterday was full of them!

I was able to ride in a friends car and buckle the seatbelt without the seatbelt extender that I usually needed.

I went to Olive Garden for lunch, and sat in the armed chairs comfortably.

Last night my husband and I were watching TV, I was sitting on the couch and he was in the matching chair. I said...come sit by me..and he said NO come sit with me..and I said...theres no way I can fit in that chair with you! He said..I bet you can....and I did! WAY COOL!

And to top it off it was our 7th wedding anniversary!

My Story

I have been obese ALL my life.  I am 45, married for 7 years to the LOVE of my life.  I have a 19 yr old stepson in Boston.  We have 2 dogs that are our babies.
I have been interested in WLS for several years.  However, insurance problems etc have kept me from it.  Now, my husband and I have decided to go ahead and self pay.
I had been fortunate that until about a year ago I had not had any health complications due to my weight.  In the last year I have been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure.
So, at long last, now is the time for ACTION!
