So Happy With My Post-Op Labs

[GradyCat 3,692]

Today is exactly 8 months since my VSG surgery. I haven't lost as much weight as I had hoped to be this point, but I got back my first lab results since having the sleeve done and I am reflecting on how much healthier I am now than 8 months ago.

Since having the WLS I have gotten rid of several co-morbidities: no more high blood pressure, no more sleep apnea, no more GERD, no more acid reflux.

These are the best lab results I have EVER had! My triglycerides 18 months ago were 353 and now they're just 104!

I'm not pre-diabetic anymore!

I'm having no trouble absorbing Vitamins . . . in fact they're way above the range where they should be, so I'm super-absorbing them now or something, taken just one soft chew each of Vitamin D, B12, calcium citrate and Multivitamin daily.

So as I sit here sometimes wishing the scale was showing a lower number, I recognize how blessed I am with these great health results and am so happy that I had this surgery.
