Health assessment
by Barbp on 01-06-2015 at 06:17 PM
I went yesterday and had what my company calls a health assessment. It's kind of like a physical but not as indepth. Anyway, I am please to share my good news. All of my blood work came back great. They checked cholesterol levels, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Everything is in the normal range. They also do a body composition thing. Last year my body fat percentage was 54%, this year it is 21%. My Viseral fat is at 6%, which according to the test it should be under 9%, so far so good. Then comes

It has been a while since I have been on here. I just wanted to give an update on how things are going. As of December 24 I am 8 months out. I have lost about 124 pounds since starting on here. I have lost 105 since my surgery. I have gone from a size 24 pants, 3x shirt to a size 10/12 pants and a large shirt. I am so full of energy now, I can play with my grandkids without getting winded. This surgery was the smarted thing I have ever done. It has changed my life for the better in every way. I

9 weeks out
by Barbp on 06-26-2014 at 11:55 AM
Today I'm 9 weeks out from surgery and am very happy with my decision to get sleeved. At my highest weight I was 320lbs. That was just last year, February to be exact. At that point I once again decided to go on a diet. I did lose some weight but after talking to one of my co-workers about her surgery, I decided to have the surgery. I went to the information seminar weighing in at 304. That was last June. After going through the 6 month dr supervised diet that is required, I was down to 285. I had
