ONE-DER-LAND - Oh, Yeah!
Dr.Hollywood has just informed me that my earlier post does not qualify as an official "Onderland" notification. So, here it is. I OFFICIALLY MADE IT. 199.8 a while ago.
Damned if that "1" on the scale didn't look good.
New avitar photo is from yesterday. I'll get some before and after (or before and during) shots up later this week.
When I started the WLS process, I frankly wasn't sure I would really get this far. I would have been pretty happy just to get rid of the comorbidities.
Well, that's done -
Diabetes: no more meds, A1C at 5.6, fasting blood sugar readings pretty consistently from 95 to 105 now and trending down.
Blood pressure: no more meds, averaging 125 over 70.
Sleep apnea: still using the cpap, but more because I'm used to it (10 years) than because I think I need it any more. Need to get a new sleep study done in the next few months to be sure.
Now, I honestly believe I can get to my goal weight. Truly believing that, and not just hoping for it, feels really good.
So thanks to everybody for the support so far. Don't think it would have happened without you all.
