LOL  my bloodwork results were in , my vitamin d level was up and my thyroid levels are wonderfully normal (i was hypothyroid and on supplementation prior to surgery) my blood pressure was 117/76 today..umm did i mention i was also hypertensive prior to surgery and on meds for that as well?! my choles./triglyc. and everything else looked good however, im still low iron..he bumped me to iron supplements twice daily and wants to recheck that in 3 months.  i just looked at him straight in the eye and thanked him with all my heart ...HE CHANGED MY LIFE..HE SAVED MY LIFE...this i know! oh, btw, i went over in detail with him about the 5dpt and he is all for it! i let him know how it got me "back to the basics", "CUT CARB CRAVINGS" and reminded me why i got this surgery in the first place..to be healthier..feel healthier!! sooooooooo...WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW is what i say!!!!! thank you all for your loving support -hugsssss-  dawn

CONGRATS Dawn! This is wonderful news! You can reach any goal you set your mind to right??!!?? All best!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!.  We are all proud of you.  You inspire many of us and it let's us know that it is possible to be successful you just have to stick with it and stay determined.  Keep up the good work!!!

Wonderful!!!!  :)  :)  ;)

Congrats!!!!!  You have done fabulously!  What an inspiration!

Dawn that is just wonderful!! The pouch is a tool we can keep working with as it is always with us.... I had to laugh about the 5 day pouch plan because I was the one who taught Brittany about it (his nutritionist) and she refers back to me when questions are asked.... that pouch plan gets about!! It is good when you just need to get off of some cravings that have not been with you a long time....and it really does work - in the short term! I still love Dr Halmi too!! Isn't he the most genuine man you have ever met?? Jackie

Yay!!!! Congratulations! I hope to have that same success at 3.5 years out. I always love hearing of the folks who are more long-term that can share their stories.
