Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share some good news. I had lots of bloodwork done for my 3-month post-op and I reviewed the results with my PCP this morning:

I'm diabetic, and my A1C at the end of January was 12.2%. One month post-op I was 9.6%. Now I'm at 6.4% and that's with being able to cut my medications by over 65%. My doctor thinks I'll be cured by the end of the year. I'm skeptical, but am very hopeful.

My triglycerides dropped by 50% and are pts away from being normal. Much to my surprise, my total cholesterol didn't budge. My doctor says my body is still trying to figure things out, and to give it more time.

In January, my liver and kidney enzymes were elevated, not a good sign of what my future held. Now those numbers are normal.

THAT's WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!

And as of this morning, I'm down 78.4lbs. If I'm lucky, I'll hit 80lbs down by the time I see my surgeon Thursday next week.

Thank you for letting me share.

Be well…

Glad I gave you a chuckle. I'm still on morphine. .yeah!

Can't wait do some walking,

Thats what Im talking about! Wonderful!!!!

3 years later and my cholesterol is exactly the same! Weight loss is great, all other lab work phenomenal but my cholesterol will likely require meds at some point :-(

You're doing great- congrats!
