3 months post-op

May 09, 2010

I had my 3 month checkup this week and everything went great.  The labs were all within normal range, so I just have to stay the course for now with no additional supplements.  According to their calculations, I have lost 32% of my excess weight.  They go by my weight on the day of surgery but I still go by what I weighed when I walked in the door for my consultation.  Hey, that's an extra 10 lbs. that I lost prior to surgery! 

I was looking over some of the blood work and comparing it to my pre-surgery blood work and it hit me that my HA1C, that my regular doctor requested to be retested, looks great!  This is the test that they watch when you are diabetic.  In January 2010 it was 7.5, which was the highest that it has been in 2 years.  The recent blood work showed it at 6.2, which is right above the normal range (4.8-6.0).  I go to see my regular doctor tomorrow for the first time since the first week in March.  My thyroid is out of whack, which I expected since it usually varies when I either gain or lose weight. 

Anyway, I am so happy about the HA1C!!!  This was the main reason that I wanted to have the surgery...to combat my diabetes!  Take that diabetes!!!!!!!
