Yesterday I had my 2 wks post-op appt and it went very well. I've lost 8 lbs since my surgery which was July 28, That is a total of 18 lbs since my initial visit in the end of April 2014. I'm excited and hofpeful that finally this surgery will work for me and I will lose the weight once and for all. Another good news is that I'm off of my diabetes and high blood pressure medications. Going into this surgery my goal was to get rid of my diabetes. I was already on 3 medications for diabetes plus several other medications. In the beginning of April my primary doctor gave me a eye opening due to my diabetes. She said if my diabetes continued as it was progressing that within 10 years I would be on dialysis. And from that point I had to do something. This morning I went walking at the track for 20 minutes. I could have gone longer but I didn't want to over do it for the first time. I have an appt in 1 month and I would like to have my goal at 199lbs. Another reason I did my surgery was for my kids. I have three children none of who are married but still in college and 1 still in middle school. I want to be around for grandchildren and see them live their lifes. And another reason I want to experience living life to the fullest.
