Lab results are in....

Hi Everyone.. I just had to share the good news with you. My labs came back and they were great! I'm so happy. WLS is sooo worth it. My HDL is 41. It should be greater than 40. My LDL is 75. It should be less than 130. My Total cholestrol is 133. It should be less than 200. My Triglycerides are 87. It should be less than 160. Also just so you can see the improvement even more. May of 2003(a year before my surgery) my Total Cholesterol was 216, My Triglycerides were 143,My LDL (bad stuff) were 137.HDL(good stuff) was 50. My Dad died at the age of 60,from heart diease and he had a stroke. He had high blood pressure. All of his Brother's have passed on. They all had the same problems that my Dad did. So,I'm very glad that I was able to have WLS. I want to live past the age of 60. Just like all of you,it's about our health....plus being able to get into cute clothes again,and crossing our legs,feeling more energy and really feeling good about ourselves. Thats what it's all about. (WLS) Have a Great Day!! ~Jeanne -92 lbs

Dear Jeanne, What amazing progress in such a short amount of time! Doesn't it feel wonderful to be living a healthier life for yourself. Keep up the great work!!! Krystal

That's great Jeanne...good for you...it is very nice not to feel so bad all of the time from the condition and health of your body isn't it. I have an autistic 11 year old girl and she was my motivation for getting healthy and everything else is just a plus. Again congratulations! Donna 75 lbs
