Hi everyone.  Last week I went to the doc, and had all my bloodwork done.  They checked everything from my vitamin levels, suger, cholesterol,...  I no longer have any signs of diabetes.  My cholesterol level is normal.  All my vitamin levels are normal.  My B/P was 115/75.  My weight is down from 317 DOS to 243.  9 weeks post op.  I am in a 38 waist, and I am about 6'1 1/2".  I was a 48.  I feel great. and have tons of energy.  Enough to spend an hour and a half in the gym each day.  I havent lost any weight in the lats week and a half, but I attribute this to muscle gain since I have lost an inch in my waist over that time. So, What are your results if you have them????? kevin Hodges

Hey Kevin Great to hear your blood-work is fine. I went from 385+lbs to 185lbs in 13 months. On down to 179lbs by the 18th month. Horrible Cholesterol and triglyceride levels, To “Better than Perfect!” (to quote my cardiologist.) My BP runs a constant 110 over 70. (but it was at worst, 125 over 80 even when I was at my top weight, So no 'Real Change' there. I had my WLS at 47 years young. For the last 3+years, I’ve stayed at my “target range” From 180 to 185, with no issues. Perfect Labwork all along the way. I feel younger in my early 50’s than I ever did in my mid-30’s. Your “Stalls?” I had about 3 on my way down. no move on the scale for a few weeks, Or less than a lb over a 3 week period. I just followed my doc’s plan, And the weight started coming off again. Good job hitting the gym. Keep it up! Best Wishes- Dx

thanks Dx. It feels great to be taken off all my meds.  Im down to 1 prilosec a day for a year.  The Hurley Baritric center prescribes this to all rny'ers now.  They say it practically illiminates ulcers post op.   I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you do for us.  This sight would not be the same if you werent here.  You have helped me more than you will ever know Kevin Hodges
