Associated Risks and long-tem consequences.

Last week someone wrote "Bariatric surgery has associated risks and long-term consequences and should be considered only part of an approach to treating obesity". I will have to agree with them. Bariatric surgery should be the very last resort when all other means have failed. The only person you talk to about this type of surgery is with your doctor. Before I was even a prove for the surgery I had to talk to 5 different doctors, my normal Doctor, a Cardiologists, a nutritionist, a psychiatrist, and a surgeon. I had to attended five classes on nutrition. Had to do a stress test.

This happen over a course of 5 months. After years of fail dieting, and not losing the weight after working my ass in the gym. I went this route.

Again the surgery is not for everyone, but if you do decide to do it talk to your doctor and ask people that had the surgery like it did. Keep track of your progress. This blog was the best thing for me. Away for me to keep track of my progress and away for others to follow.

Now to my weekly update, When to a Christmas party on Friday night, had a blast, met a lot great friends of Tammy's. I was told that I had to wear my BIG BOY Pants. But after meeting her co workers, I would have fit right in. So today I weight in and boy I am doing great I am finally under 240 pounds. I have not weight this in 8 years.

So I got my lab work back from Nov 11. Only issue I see is that my total Cholesterol is 92 range is 125-200 mg/dL, and my HDL is 20 but needs to be greater than 40 mg/dL.

My LDL was 53 mg/dL and it had to be <130 mg/dL. Need to find something that can rise my HDL and Total Cholesterol. Vitamin D over all was 29 needs to be between 30 - 100 ng/mL. My GLUCOSE was 104 needs to be 65-99 mg/dL just a little high. Over all not bad for one month after the surgery. I have more blood work being done in two weeks for my 3months post surgery. I hope the number look as good as they did in Nov.

Will time to run Remember
