I got my labs back today from my checkup!

[Sajijoma 1,324]

I had my yearly checkup last week and everything looked good in the office, but I didn't get my labs back til today and I am please to announce I do not have diabetes, high chloresterol, high triglycerides or any of that bad stuff! I could dance for joy! My only "problems" if you can call them that, is that my Iron is a little low and my B12 is a lot high. LOL so I have a message in to my NUT and waiting to see what she wants to do with that. But I am soooo excited to not have diabetes because my parents, my living siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and my grandparents when they were all alive had diabetes and I had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy, so to walk out today with perfect health and perfect numbers was AMAZING! I am the first one in my family to almost reach 40(still got 9 more months) without having diabetes!!! It was the NSV of all NSV's! This surgery really has made my life better!

That's completely fantastic. What a feeling!

Congratulations on your results. About a year post-op, my blood work showed I was also low on Iron. As a result I did 2 things.

I moved all my Iron supplements to the end of the day just before bedtime. I had to separate Calcium from iron time wise. Since milk contains Calcium and since I did drink milk in addition to my calcium tablets, it was difficult to make this separation, unless I scheduled it as the last supplements of the day.

I was told by my nutricianist to add a 65 mg iron tablet to my regiment. The iron had to be ferrous sulfate.

I've been iron deficient most of my life. I'm actually surprised that I went UP from my last check to being just borderline deficient this time.

Thanks everyone! It really is an overwhelmingly good feeling to know that this surgery and this change in my life has already saved me from things that to this point I assumed were inevitable, like getting diabetes.
