So before surgery I had high cholesterol (254), high triglycerides (370+), high blood pressure and heart rate (average 150/100 with hr over 105) and was concidered pre diabetic.
As of today being almost 5 months post op and down almost 60lbs I have great bp and hr (120/80 with hr of 75 to 85; ive been off meds since month 1), normal triglycerides (low 200)and normal sugars. Unfortunately my cholesterol is exactly the same but that is a cruddy thing about genetics. Ive dropped 2 pants sizes and fit into all my old clothes that I put away a year ago when I couldnt fit in them anymore. It feels great. My doc wants me to drop 8 more lbs by my 6 month check up oct 21st, which is doable, but I cant do the gym for another 10 days because of having my gallbladder out only 2 weeks ago.
Before I ramble on forever I just wantto say im happy
