Topic: RE: Updated my profile & Pictures
Wow...you look awesome!!! Im jealous of your boobs. lol I went and saw a surgeon on base, we are military. She said that they couldnt do a lift on me cuz I dont have much tissue left inside. I went from a very full D to about an A1/2. I cant quite fill in a B. She said I could get implants and that would cost me like $3300 and they would still be saggy if I didnt want to fill out all the skin. She wouldnt be able to do a lift or remove the excess skin. I bet if I went to a civilian doctor they would remove skin and give me implants. Military is just lazy and cheap!! Anyways, u look awesome!! Your arms are amazing. I bet those scars will heal up nicely. They dont look bad at all now.

Topic: RE: what's your cholesterol?
Good question for the boards! Before Surgery: Weight 333 After Surgery (now): 188 Cholesterol Before: 199 After Surgery: (3 mos): 144 Now: 149 I started off eating the lowfat or no fat cheese. Now I'm not as picky - why the slight increase. My surgeon said it's still great. He said it was even lower than his! Keep up the great work! Marie

Topic: RE: what's your cholesterol?
Michelle, congrats on lowering your cholesterol...I have always been a "freak" of nature in regards to blood pressure and chol.... Before surgery - 118 lbs heavier.... blood pressure: 120/60 chol: in the range of 160; good chol was good and bad was good too After surgery, 118 lbs gone forever... blood pressure: 90/60...sometimes as low as 80/50...makes me blackout.... chol: a few weeks ago - 142 - good is good, bad is good too....

Topic: MRSA/port/antibiotics done!!!
Finally, yesterday was the last day for the Vancomycin antibiotic through my port in my chest. the home health care nurse came by today to remove the needle and although the actual port is still inside my chest, I can now take a bath without worring about getting the site wet. its been a long 6 weeks and I am happy it is over, my blood was drawn and sent to the lab to make sure the MRSA is all gone, the doctor wants to wait to remove the port for a bit to make sure there is no chance of the infection flairing up again. At least the removal of the port will be the easiest surgery ever!! and recovery should be a breeze!!!! Donna R 277/155

Topic: what's your cholesterol?
I just got my labs back from my one year check-up and she said my potassium is a little low (I guess I need to eat more bananas) and my cholesterol is now 194. Before surgery it was 256, so it's improved. I know under 200 isn't bad but I was wondering what everyone elses cholesterol is now that we are supposed to be eating "healthy" (I like eggs lol) ~Michelle 271/138
