FART - My Eyes are burning....

The stench is burning my eyes brothers so I thought I would share.  My employer recently offered a wellness screening for all employees whi*****ludes a detailed blood workup, blood pressure, and a bunch of lifestyle question to help screen you for health risks.  Well to make a long story short just two years ago I would have been the poster child of bad health on this test. Blood pressure 150/120, Cholesterol 240, no exercise, lots of pain meds, super morbidly obese BMI 57%, Sleep apnea, acid reflex, hell you name it, I had it in spades.  I go my test results back today. Blood pressure 118/68, Cholesterol 168 (amazing was 240 forever), regularly walk/hike 15-20 miles a week, pain free now and only meds are vitamins, BMI 27%, no sleep apnea, acid reflux. It all gone, I had a health score of 83%, the National Average was 67% for a guy in his 40s. I do have to say that some of the questions were bull**** I got marked down for driving over the speed limit, not getting flu shots (have not had the flu since 1977), and not having a tetanus shot in the past ten years. They also hit me for not stretching everyday and not doing self exams (I do touch myself but they said that doesn’t really counts). So I guess I’m going to live forever now thanks to WLS. Amazing what losing 240lbs will do for you!!  Thank God for WLS!!! Tim

Cripes Tim...great score dude! Makes me think that we can all get there too...and judging from what I'm reading here over the past couple of years, we're all trying! That said, I'd just like to add my own agreement to Boners, that those "self-exam" specifics really aint' necessary....cause all I gotta do is to think back to this morning in my own bed! Er...wait....my wife was involved after a bit.... Jim

Congrats Tim!  We recently had one of those same health screenings at my employer.  They gave us the results right then and there and wow was I ever shocked!  I'm pre-op still but I've been taking care of myself for a while.  I can't believe my results were so bad!  It was just further evidence that WLS is the best choice for me. What part of NC do you live in?  I'm in the Charlotte area and I've recently found that I love to hike. If you're close by perhaps we could hit some trails. Here's my panel: BP        :  134/89 (This is great, I used to be 190s/100s) Body Fat% :  39.5 BMI       :  47.7  (Found this is actually different, I grew 1.5 inches) Weight    :  305 lbs Total Cholesterol  :  226 Triglycerides      :  126 HDL                :  19 LDL                :  182 Ratio              :  11.8 Glucose            :  62
