I had blood work done last week and all my levels came back within normal ranges! After loosing 52 pounds in 3 months I was shocked, but very happy. I feel wonderful. I am now in a size 14. I can actually shop in the misses department instead of the plus size department. My feet don't hurt and I can feel my hip bones. This is one of the best decisions I ever made. I was able to get off 4 of my 5 medications. I only take a low dose thyroid medication now, and even that dose has gone down since my surgery. I hope my husband decides to have some type of weight loss surgery because his health would really improve.
Results 1 to 14 of 14

Re: 3 month blood work results came back great!
I got my blood work back! (taken from my blog....)
I talked to the nurse that is going to spend some time with me on diet/etc post-op... the one I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I met at a Weight Wise seminar. I told him my blood work was done a couple of weeks ago but that I hadn't heard anything yet... so he looked it up!
His comments as he said them to me....
B12 - 468. DOUBLE what normal is.
Thyroid - Perfect
Proteins - Good
Electrolytes - Great
Cholesterol - Great
Liver Function - Good
Sugars - Good 5.3 Normal
Coagulant - Normal
Blood Count - Perfect
There's still a few tests to come back (like Vitamin D) but he said this is the best blood work he's ever seen in a post-op bariatric patient! Yay me! I asked him if this meant I had to start exercising and stop using my surgery as an excuse... lol... he laughed. I see him on Aug 18th to go over my food logs etc.
In the words of Charlie Sheen .... WINNING!!Straight forward. Straight facts. Whether you like the truth or not... I'm not made of sugar coating
