DEXA scan at 2 years post op.

This was my 3rd DEXA, you can see the history on the first sheet, and my first after plastic surgery. I am pleased with my results. It gives me an opportunity to make some goals.

I started a new therapist lead support group this week. We are all actively working to lose 10% of our body weight in 12 weeks. I'm feeling motivated and for the last 2 days have stayed within my plan. Now, I just need to get back to working out.

If you get an opportunity to get a DEXA, I highly recommend it.

Good job on having it done, but please interpret the results for us .. good, bad .. ?

I have 32.7% body fat, which is down in the last 6 months. Not bad for a woman of 44 years old, but on the high end of what is considered normal. I have gained a little since my last DEXA, but if you look at my lean mass, all that has been gained is muscle. My fat distribution is really good. It makes sense that I carry less fat in my abdomen, since I had a tummy tuck in June that removed 5.8 pounds of fat.

I think overall, it's pretty good. I think that I am setting my goal to lower my body fat percentage to less than 30, regardless of what my weight is.

My bone density is really good.

I want to lose some weight still, but overall, I feel healthy and mentally, having this DEXA scan makes me more comfortable with where I am.

I think you must have had the exact same technician that I did! She even drew the same down arrow and .8 on the A/G ration section. Too funny.
