It wasn't for nothing!!

always said, had I not had this liver problem (NASH), I proabably wouldn't have had RNY. As the days went by, I got more and more happy with the weight loss, however, I didn't want people to think I had done this for vanity's sake. Well, I got the results of the liver panel in my bloodwork and 2 of the 3 numbers (i don't know exactly what they are) are within NORMAL LIMITS!!! The last one is very very close!! So in 6 months, I went from FOUR TIMES the normal numbers to right in the middle on two and a little over the upper limit on the 3rd. In 6 months! Can you believe it!?!? I have not had a normal liver panel since I was 19 years old...even when I lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise!!!!! RNY has really given me the chance at a much longer life. So what if I can fit into a size 10? Look at my labs!! I'd wear those in public if I could. Kathy

Kathy, That is so wonderful to hear. I am so happy for you that your labs are improving. They will continue to get better too. YAY for Kathy! Hugs, Robin PS your picture looks great!

Kathy, that is the BEST news! A longer life is the absolute best benefit after RNY. Congratulations on great labs. "Normal" is such a fantastic word. Wear those labs proudly! - Stephanie

That is so great! Susan 3-23-06 242/231/149/140
