5 Months Post Op Update

Well it's been 5 months since I had surgery, I can't believe how the time has flown by!! I just wanted to share some good new with you all. I went to my Endocrinologist last Friday to get my current lab results. My A1C has dropped to 6.3 & all areas of my cholesterol are in good range. I had to be honest with the Doctor & I had to tell her I stopped taking all my cholesterol meds 6 months a go. I wanted to see how I could do with out them. Well lucky for me my results were so good that my doctor took me off all meds except my Insulin which has been cut 3 times in the 5 months. I will see her in 4 months, she said my insurance might not let me go back since I am pretty much now in the normal range. I can't believe it! This was the greatest feeling!! She said with the weight loss (so far about 30 lbs) & the exercise I should be back on pills in no time for my diabetes. Thanks for reading & allowing me to share my good news with you! Please let me know how you all are doing.

Wishing you all a Happy & Safe  Thanksgiving!!

Congrats that is so great to hear. Keep up the good work. I am proud of you.  I am two months with my new realize Band. I have lost 21 lbs in 2 months. This is Awesome. Love my Band.

Thanks for the support! Congrats to you on your success, please keep me updated on how you are doing with your band.

Thanks again!

Lisa, that is fantastic news.  All the scale and NSV's are great, but a good health report...that makes you feel so good.  I am so happy for you.

Oh, and CONGRATS ON THE 30 POUNDS!!!  That is wonderful...keep up the great work and you'll be off that insulin in no time.  :)

The weight loss is great but right now I am so HAPPY with just my lab results improving. My overall health is getting so much better due to the extra weight dissappearing. I look forward to dropping more weight so I can finally get off my insulin. One day soon I will reach my goal of being off meds all together!

Thanks for your support!

Way to go Lisa!

Thanks!

Keep up the good work. I'm on that journey too. Lost 24 lbs since surgery 10/13/09. Feels great sitting on the loser's bench.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! I would love to hear more of your weight loss story. Please add me as a friend so we could keep in touch. Yes, the loser's bench feels great!

Hope to hear back from you!

That's great news!  Time does fly by doesn't it?  It doesn't seem like it has been very long since surgery at all.  I hit my 40 pound mark today!!  About 32 more to go!!
