4 month Check-In

So the 10th was my 4 month anniversary since VSG.  I started this journey at 338lbs, lost 10lbs before surgery so day of surgery I was 328.  Today, I am 237.  I lost 101 lbs total, 91lbs  since surgery.  All of my bloodwork and vitamin levels are perfect.  I no longer have high blood pressure or thyroid issues.  I know I still have a ways to go even after losing 101lbs but I am happier and healthier than I have been in years.  While I wish I was one of you who started your journey at the weight I am now, I accept my journey as is and know it is unique to me.  This has been the most amazing journey and I look forward to contiuning.  If any of you remember, while my surgeon was doing my surgery she discovered a large growth of blood vessels on my spleen.  She has ordered a CT scan for my six month and will schedule surgery after that.  I am nervous but it just shows me that again this surgery is saving my life.  I shed away from doctors as my weight increased so who knows if this issue would have been found in time to remove before causing an aneurysm.  Doctor joked that since I will be having surgery again it will help me lose more weight!  

So yes, if your are considering VSG--do it! It can save your life in more ways than you may even know.

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!
