My 1 year check-up

Feb 13, 2011

My surgery was Nov. 30, 2009. At that time, my blood pressure,thyroid levels, blood sugar levels and depression was "thru the roof".I was weighing 430 lbs!! On Dec. 4th, 2010, I had my 1 yr. check-up with my surgeon, Dr. Gus Slotman. My blood pressure, thyroid levels, protein levels,blood sugar levels were all with limits!! My weight was recorded at 285 lbs!!! That makes my total weight loss to date at 145 lbs!!!  I thank God that I can continue to follow "The Plan" designed for me by my Surgeon, Dr. Gus Slotman and my support group leader, Cheryl Marks. I have also read books about before and after the surgery: "Weight loss surgery for Dummies", "Winning After Losing", "The Emotional First + Aid Kit" and "Eat it up"(Connie Staplelton). I have started an exercise plan by going to my gym 3 times a week! For now, Iam doing 25 mins. on the treadmill,weights for upper body and to help strengthen my knees. I thank God for my progress and my new "lease on life"!!
