So guess who got to spend Friday night in the hospital getting a blood transfusion because her hemoglobin was 6.7 ? Well... that would be me!
On Friday I went in to have routine blood work drawn for my appointment with my bariatric surgeon tomorrow morning. I had my blood drawn at 9:00 am and at 4:00 pm I get a call from my PCP's office telling me that my hemoglobin was at a critcal low lever and that I needed to go to the nearest emergency room.

I wanted to lose 80 pounds by the end of 2014 and it didn't look like I was going to make it. I hit 75.8 by Christmas. I was happy and a touch disappointed...but I just sent a new goal for 80 pounds by mid January. Life will give you perspective in the most unique of ways.
