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

Thanks, you guys!!

Yes, I'm starting to save for clothes now,.

One odd thing, I'm 1 month and 22 days post-op but I'm pretty close to goal weight NOW, maybe 15 away. I had lost over 55lbs before surgery (I'd done it a half dozen times before..., so it won't be long, so I guess my question is:

Will my body sort of level itself off at a weight? I really have no idea what that weight should be....

Anyway, we'll see what happens here, but it's been a worldwind!! I'm 6, 2" and my high had been 305lbs, and now I'm 213lbs.... in truth I guess the number isn't that important, health is. Thanks for being there. So few people know about my surgery so this has been a life line, love, p

Congrats! Its a wonderful feeling, huh? Keep going!

Congratulations, keep up the good work! I believe your body will stop losing when it's ready. I had been really close to my goal weight for a couple months and finally worked out like a maniac two weeks ago just to say I made it. Now I am back up 2-3 pounds and I have decided that I think that's just where I am going to be.
