A few days from 1 year out!

[moreoflife4me 9]

Here's some of my story! I had my surgery on march 27th 2012 I paid cash in full cause my health insurance don't cover! Starting weight 268lbs now 173! I'm feeling great about my loss! I've had stalls at times but I just stopped worrying and in a few weeks back to dropping. I had no problems with surgery at first no leaks no complications. a few weeks post op I had sharp unbearable pains went to hospital for pain Control they came to think it was the internal stitching healing! I'm 5hrs from the hospital I had surgery at. Other than that everything was going great my back problems much better energy level better feeling more confident and happier! The last month or so my Bp bottomed out starting having orthostatic blood pressure! Got dizzy when I stand. went back into hospital to help increase my Bp and lower my heart rate, it was high because my Bp was low! So anyway I'm on salt tablets and a pill to help retain water! I don't drink enough but I've never been a big drinker! Lol so my cortisol levels are low everything else low side of normal. I'm seeing a endocrinologist to help know what's going on just waiting on rest of test to see if its from surgery or if I have had these problems and no one knew it was my adrenal glands! So anyway I'm loving feeling skinny and happy I want to lose 13 more lbs and the good news is my bmi went from high 40s to 27 so I'm happy! If anyone has any input on the Fluid or cortisol levels that would be great! Hope everyone great happiness and success!
