Three month post-op appointment

Yesterday was my 3 month followup appontment with Dr. Scott. It was only 11 weeks, but my appointment had been moved up. It was the best appointment I have ever had in any doctor's office. I am down 64 lbs in less than 3 months. My BMI went from 45 pre-op to 36 yesterday. I am not obese, instead of morbidly obese. Last week my PCP took me off my BP med. Yesterday, after a week with no med, my BP was 119/79. That's lower than it was with the medicine for many, many years. I am very happy with my results so far. I still have to make my exercise program more regular, but this too shall happen.

Nana you go girl I'm glad to see that everything is really working for you. Glad to hear that you are NO longer on meds. Your weight loss is fantastic too Cheri

Cheri, Thanks for your kind words. I am very happy with the weight loss. I am beating myself up, because I can't get into the exercise habit for more than a few days at a time. I'm getting really squishy!! This weekend I am going to work hard on starting a routine. Linda

YEAHHHHHHH..... KUDOS!! Mandie

Congrats Nana!! You go Girl, Anything that takes those pills away and makes you healthier is well worth it, Im so glad for you Cheryl

Cheryl, I am so happy about the meds part. Whew! Before this surgery, I never thought that was possible. Linda
