Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 Hi all, I am at 3 months today. My surgery was 9-21-00 and I was down to my lowest today from 278lbs to 216lbs. That is 62 lbs. I have been fluctuating between 50 - 60 for about 3 weeks. This has been my longest slow down. I went to the doctor and he checked my electrolytes, blood iron levels, liver function, A1C ( 3 month average of blood sugar) I am diabetic, and my cholesterol. everything was normal except I was a little anemic. This is not new it is the same as it was before surgery. My cholesterol was 180 and pre -op it was 284 this is normal. My A1C was 6 and this is normal. My blood pressure was 113/64. My doctors are very pleased and one of the GYN- OB doctors I work with is so happy with my results that she has mentioned it to 2 of her patients. I hope I will prove to the doctors I know that this is a good option for some people. Oh! did I mention that I can go up and down stairs like a normal person now. I have a very bad knee and could only go up and down the stairs up with the good leg and down with the bad. Now I can almost trot up and down. My husband is the one who mentioned it first. He said look at you, You could not do this 2 months ago. For me this is the best money (I was self pay) I ever spent and I would do it again in a minute. Best wishes to all of you in waiting!
