Hi Joan,

Congrats on the good blood workup and getting off all those meds.

And 46 lbs gone...that's great! I wish you much more success on your journey.

Saw the doctor again this a.m. She said all my blood tests were great.

Blood sugar, insulin, and B-12, folate, cholesterol, triglycerides, the

works are all very good. She said to keep taking the vitamins I'm taking.

My blood pressure was 94/64, and she told me to quit the medication.

Yippee!!! I'm going to can my pcp of 10+ years, as his advice was to cut

down for 1 week, then back up to see if I get dizzy. What???? I thought

they took your blood pressure to decide the medication, not by the patient

getting dizzy or not!

, going into this surgery was purely for medical reasons, but now

that I'm losing and changing it feels so wonderful. I actually got down on

the floor to play with my granddaughter, and got back up so much easier. I

know it's going to get better yet. Just about 3 weeks, and you'll be on

your way too.

Thank you Chris. Getting rid of the meds feels like cutting ropes that have

had you tied down. I see you've lost several more #'s. This is so exciting

to see so many people succeeding. But I have to admit I still have the most

hope from someone like Mandy who had the surgery years ago and is doing

great (and BTW challenges me to think for myself).

Thank you for noticing Joan. Yes the lbs are coming off slowly but surely.

And yes, Mandy is such an inspiration for me too!
