All systems are normalizing captain!

I'm so excited to share a few victories!

I lost a pretty good amount of weight before the surgery (about 60 lbs). My surgery was on July 28, and now I'm down about 90lbs total since January of this year.

First of all, I just got back my bloodwork from my primary care physician. As of January this year I was bordering on pre-diabetes, had high blood pressure, triglycerides were horrible, and good cholesterol was in the dumps. On top of that I had been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and have been on a CPAP for about 5 years.

As of this week, ALL my values are now within normal ranges. Cholesterols are great, triglycerides normal, nowhere near pre-diabetes levels. I can't believe how great I feel both inside and out.

Also, while I was in the hospital, I slept without my CPAP and my oxygen saturation was almost at 100%, which means it's likely my sleep apnea is either gone or much less significant than it was. I'm going in for a sleep study before the end of the year to confirm, but this is just such heartwarming news and a big affirmation that I did the right thing.

There are so many great non-scale victories along the way in this journey. And I'm going to embrace each one!

Peace to everyone!

Congratulations! I know that feeling, and it's incredible. I had PCOS and insulin resistance pre-surgery, and they're now resolved. Or as my doc explained, in the "off" position. I'm keeping it that way!

Also I love the subject line for your thread.
