sbb1222 112 Posted August 12, 2013 This surgery has made in my life is phenomenal. I don't often remember how unhealthy I was, a I don't remember ever allowing myself to get that unhealthy. It happens one bite, one day of not exercising at a time. It all adds up. It seem likes it happened overnight, when in reality it was a six year period of my life that drastically went further downhill each am every day. My family doctor is not a big advocate of cholesterol-lowering drugs; however, when my surgeon's office requested I be put on them prior to surgery as my cholesterol was through the roof, he obliged. Very shortly after the surgery he took me off of the pills, telling me he wanted to see if I could lower it on my own. I received my blood work results today. I am officially back in the great zone! My cholesterol has dropped 52 points! My good cholesterol is great, my bad cholesterol is great! I just have to take a moment and remind myself (and all of you) how worth it this surgery is! It has completely changed my life back to the better, back to the healthy lifestyle! I didn't have the will power to do it on my own, I needed a little help, and man, has it ever been the biggest help. I firmly believe it saved my life! 10 dsferfeargregrhgttrhht, chasingadream, MammaJamma42 and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
