Off Medications......

I have taken blood pressure and cholesterol medications for years. After I came home from surgery, I took myself off of them. ( I don't advise you to do this on your own) I had labs drawn last week and my lipid profile as well as everything else was great. In fact my HDL was low. I'm saving $70 a month now. How cool is that? Once again, Thank you GOD and DR. WALTON .

Very awsome I can't wait to be there.

You look marvelous! I'm coming in to weigh today..hopefully I'll get to see you. I don't weigh anywhere except there because I know the scale is "right."

Awesome!

I'm so happy for you Rita!!! Now you can save that $70 a month to buy smaller clothes! Hooray!!! I only take an anti-anxiety and cardiazem for a congenital defect. If I have an ablation done I could quit the cardiazem.  Do people get off anti-depressants after WLS?  I don't get depressed without them...but I get stressed.  I lose it with the kids and can't seem to handle the bumps in the road with grace.  I have gone off of them many times in the last 10 years but I always have this moment when I realize "IT" has snuck up on me again.  It's like I am a hormonal teenager who over reacts to everything.  I don't know if that would go away with weight loss.  With all the vitamins I take it'd be nice to be able to not have to take meds also.  I feel like a senior citizen with my huge AM/PM pill box!!!!

that is wonderful thank you for sharing. that is one of my hopes after surgery that i will be able to not take so many pills

That is awsome it is so great to see those levels go down as we become healthy. The money savings is great too.

Congratulations! It is incredible and I'm so happy that you're free of your medications and so much healthier now! : ) Shelly
