6-month check up
Well I went yesterday for my 6-month check up. I was walking on Cloud 9 when I left because it was such good news. Here are my statistics:
Total pounds lost - 92
Total inches lost - 63.5 inches (yippee)
shoulders: lost 6.5"
chest: lost 11.5"
waist: lost 12.5"
hips lost 15.0"
thighs lost 11.0 "
biceps lost 7.0"
My blood work was all excellent with only one slight problem - my iron was a little on the low side. It should be between 35 and 150 and mine was 49. My surgeon didn't want to do anything at the current time, but said if it was still low at my 9-month check up - he might put me on an iron supplement. My cholesterol and blood sugar levels were perfect - B-12 perfect...I was excited to say the least!
My surgery buddy Karen (aka STYLZ) went the same day and her reports were equally as good - she should tell you about them.
This is the most wonderful journey and I would do it again in a second. We are all in the 6-month period now - so please post your findings as you get back from your doctor's office. Have a good weekend all....Barbara
