Oh Yeah! Just got back from internist's office. I've had hypertension for 5 years. BP was high (150/100), even with meds. Now, after the two-week pre-op diet and 2 weeks of banding, my BP is 110/80. Zipadeedppdah!!! I get to cut my meds in half and doc says in another three months he doubts I will need them at all. I have a big stoooopid grin on my face!!! I love my band!!!:clap2:

That's a great accomplishment, Foofy! Congratulations!

For the first time in years I don't have to wear makeup - my zits are all gone. That's a symptom of PCOS - zits, lots of them. With weight loss the symptoms can dissipate.

Oh, yeah, a pant size smaller! Went shopping today.
