I went for a physical today with my pcp because I am training for a 5K. They did the whole workup, blood, urine, pap smear and later today a mammogram. During the pelvic exam, my doctor said to me, "its a lot easier to check your ovaries now that you are so much thinner"... LOL I never thought about that.. what an nsv for me! Makes even my doctors life easier.

My blood pressure was 80/60... really low. He wasnt concerned though. He said it was good. I was dehydrated but they didnt give me an IV, just told me to get to drinking. I am cleared to keep running now that I have my asthma inhaler. I just feel so much healthier.

<p style="margin-left: 40px"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff">LOL!! Thats a fun interesting NSV!!! Good things come in small packages?</span></strong></p>

Keep rockin that sleeve! Keep up the hard work! LOL The rest of the weight will melt away!

LOL! funny NSV! I hope your 5K training goes well and that you do great during your 5k!!!

How many miles is a 5k exactly?? I've said I want to do one, but I don't even know how many miles one is exactly...I'm guessing 2-3 (I hope lol)

Sleeve4me - A kilometer is .62 miles, so a 5k is 3.1 miles and a 10k is 6.2 miles.

Forensicchik - way to go with those easy to find ovaries! Good luck on the upcoming race and your training regime. :-)

That is so great! Another benefit to this surgery is easy to locate ovaries!

Kind of related, about a dozen years ago, I was able to drop over 100 pounds in a year by extreme calorie restriction and exercising a minimum of two hours a day. When I went to the OB/GYN, they kept looking at the chart, and looking at me, walking out of the room. Finally the nurse comes back in and asks, "Who ARE you?" LOL. I didn't match up to their chart at all.
