hard to believe...

went to the doc yesterday and the results are almost unbelieveable. my cholesterol is down to 202 from over 350. my ldl is still too low as a result of faulty genetical engineering but that may change with continued weight loss and more excercise. blood pressure is down from 200+/120+ to a respectable 145/80 and finally blood sugar has dropped from over 280 to a "normal" 100. i have dropped from 12 pills a day to 1 and i am down to 286 for a total of 62 pounds lost. you know, i am essentially a cheap ******* but this is the best money i ever spent in my life. i cannot wait to get on with what today brings. thank you all and god bless.

Hey now you can be a cheap, healthier, handsomer *******!!! So proud of you. Those labs and your Dr's checkup are proof that this is a lot more than a weightloss thing. Congrats on your health Marty. That is unreal...in a good way of course. Molly 252/200/135

Holy smokes, Marty!!!!!!!!!!!! That is just freaking super! Tamara 321/285

Hi Marty!! I am so happy for you! You are doing so well and feeling alot better I am sure! I envy you and cannot waite till I am on the loosing side as well. However I would not consider you to be cheap. Slapping down $10,000 dollors of your own money to improve your life is what I would call a good sound investment! The returns of wich you will benefit from for the rest of your longer, healthier life. It was good to hear from you again. Keep us updated!! We pre-ops gain worlds of knowledge by learning from you post ops! Love and hope to you! Tera
