3 month check-up

I had my 3 month check-up yesterday and I'm down 63lbs. My blood pressure is low though. I was wondering why I was getting lightheaded and kinda of blacking out when I got up. I need to get more water in!!!! Before surgery I was borderline hypertension and that was on bp meds so maybe its a good thing. I haven't taken those meds since the surgery. How are other people doing at 3 monthes???? Laura

Hi Laura, I have my 3 month check-up on Dec. 19th! Like you I was also on bp meds before my surgery and haven't been on them since 1 month post-op! So far I have lost 58lbs and feel great. My surgery date was Sept. 19th. Good luck to you, your surgery friend, Minette. Virginia Beach, Virginia

Hi! I just had my three month check in on Friday, I am down 54 lbs since surgery and 80 lbs in total. I am no longer on my diabetes meds. BP was always normal. Cholesterol was always normal. I was also measured at the gym. Since Oct 6th, I have lost 34.50 inches, and 24.99 body fat pounds. My surgeon says that he couldn't ask for better results! Laure

Hey there! I had my 3 month check up today and have lost 61lbs. I was on 2 bp meds and I haven't taken any since surgery! Hope everyone has a great night! Jodie

I have my 3 month follow up this Friday. As of this morning I am down 59 pounds. I also crossed my legs for the first time on Sunday. I didn't even realize I had done it at first. I had my 3 month blood work done a few weeks ago and at that point my insulin had dropped from 125 last spring to 21 in early November. My cholesterol had dropped to 171 from 217 in mid August. All my other blood work was perfect.

After surgery I wasn't so sure I did the right thing being so sore and not being able to eat but doesn't it feel good now after seeing how much we have lost and how better are health is!!!!!!! Way to go everyone and keep up the good work!!!!!

Laura, My 3 month checkup will be 12/18... I'm having the same issues with standing up feeling light headed and once in a while seeing stars when I stand (especially after I get out of the hot tub at the gym). So I'll bet low blood pressure is my issue too (I never had cholesterol or BP issues before).... We'll see. I'm down 75lbs since 2 weeks prior to surgery, feeling great. Congrats to you on the weight loss, keep up the good work! Renee

I am at 61 lbs and holding for now. Been stagnant for about 2 weeks. I am off my bp meds and 2 of my RA meds. Feel great, I actually ran with my 5 yr old granddaughter!

Not to sound like a copycat - but I'm closing in on 3 months as well - and I was on a mild bp med prior to surgery. Haven't checked my pressure, my check-up isn't for another couple of weeks. Down 49.5 since surgery, 76 total since my "high" point last July. How is everyone "feeling"? I can't believe the enormous difference it's made in my energy - I've been able to walk around doing holiday shopping for hours at a time - haven't done that in a couple of years!!

I can't believe how much more energy I have. I've spent more money in the past month then I have in a year, not really but close...lol I can shop for hours!!! My check up is on Tuesday and for the last 2 weeks I haven't lost any weight, but today I saw the scale jump down a pound...YEAH....
