6 Month Followup - I just have to share!

I had my 6 mo. followup yesterday with my adorable surgeon.  I'm so happy I can hardly control myself. 

I've lost 67% of my excess body weight and they only expect you to be at 50% at this point so I'm in the 90% percentile (good for their statistics).  I don't need my CPAP machine anymore.  My cholesterol was an unbelievable 125!!!  No more diabetes.. my HbA1C was 5.2.  So I don't take any medications anymore and don't need to sleep with a CPAP machine anymore and my weight loss is outstanding.  Protein, iron, all of that was all right where it should be.  YEAH!!! 

I just had to share with all of you. 

Fantastic Laura!  Isn't it time to see some new pics???




Keep up the great work!

That is great news!! Just stay with what you are doing & all should be wonderful. When that honeymoon fase ends make sure those old habits don't try & creep up on you. I was off all meds for 2 yrs & now back on BP & diabetis meds,
not to scare you, but things do change & it does get harder down the road. Enjoy the
good news ! I bet you look great too!!

Thanks for the heads up Marilyn!  I will be on guard!  

Laura...CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!!  You must be flying on cloud nine.  Thank you for sharing this fantastic news.

Hugs & Atta Girl out to you.

Congratulations, Laura! Isn't it absolutely amazing what 6 months of positive health changes can do? This spring and summer will find you doing things you haven't been able to do in years if you're previous condition was anything like mine. You go girl!
