An Unbelievable Day: JOY...!

You guys, I just had a doctor's appointment, the first big post-op appointment with my GP, and it left me joyous!! In twenty five years I've never readings like this. Let me just put it this way. I came home in a cloud and threw into the garbage:
Metformin, Glypizide (diabetes) Losartan, amlodipine (high blood pressure), flexerile, meloxicam (terrible back and joint pain), lipitor (high cholestrol) .... I have NONE of those things anymore. I literally let out a huge holler in the parking lot walking to my car.... Thank God and this RNY gastric Bypass surgery. Thank you for letting me share that with you all, I'm moved beyond words

    Hi friends and thanks again! That was quite a day learning that good news, I rode that high for a day or so.

    Now I tell you, at my age (and single) the idea of being more attractive was still appealing, just less so than it would have been when I was 40, and I won't lie- I'm having a blast bringing big bags of clothes to Goodwill etc. I'm loving wearing clothes off the rack and get this: tucking my shirts in...!! That's right, no more dashikis...

    Gimme a couple more months and we'll be talking swimming this summer, and not only at night with a t-shirt on..

    And we might even dance once again, I used to love it when I was young before the pain in my legs became too great.

    Yes, this is much better, thank you very much!!
