Hello All!!

Came back from my TWH 3 month nurse appt today and I am thrilled. I have lost 10 inches off just my belly in this short time. My b12 is a little elevated but she seemed okay with it for now. My hemoglobin which was low after surgery is back in normal range. Blood pressure was a tad low but nothing she was worried about. TWH says although the nurse practitioner may have told us we could lose up to 85% of our excess body weight... the clinic considers us successful if we lose 50% of our body weight. Well after just 3 months I have already lost 45% of my excess body weight which the nurse said was very good to achieve in 3 months. So needless to say I left there a very happy girl.

I love my new tool and look forward to the next 3 months.

It's so worth it!! And you all are deserving and worth it!!

All the best,

Laura
