One of the reason I choose to have WLS was to help me gain control of my health issues. I had Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, bad joints in my knees and feet and so on. Well, after my blood work results, I am happy to report:
I am no longer diabetic. I no longer have high cholesterol. My joints are feeling better although they still twinge every now and then.
I am off my diabetic meds as well as the cholesterol meds. I am reducing the dosage of my synthroid meds. I only have 2 mandatory meds I have to take that are, HRT (female hormones due to a hysterectomy in 2002) and my synthroid.
Yay! It is amazing what losing 94 pounds will do for your health. 45 pounds prior to surgery and 49 after surgery.
Working on becoming as healthy as I can.
