A picture of perfect health
I don't have my annual WLS surgeon's checkup for a couple of weeks, but I got my blood test results from my PCP last night.
I've dropped my total cholesterol 35%, raised my HDL (good cholesterol) by 25%, lowered my LDL (bad cholesterol) 42%.
I no longer have 'metabolic syndrome'.
My B12 is 'perfect'.
My blood pressure is comfortably within normal.
My BMI is normal.
My resting heart rate is 60.
These were all problem areas in January 2005. The good results are due to my WLS.
Oh, I almost forgot, my anemia is GONE!!! My WLS fixed my hiatal hernia, and the bleeding that came along with it.
I am just so grateful I can hardly believe it. I feel very lucky to not have complications, too.
