Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 wowwwieeeeeeyuyyyy.. calls for a celebration huh? aW One Year anniversary Today is my one yr anniversary. I have lost 120 lbs and can wear sizes 12-14. I had my lab work done last week and everything was great except my iron is quite low. I have been taking 3 iron pills daily for about 3 months and it has not come up much. My ferritin is 4.01 and hemoglobin is 9.8 and hematocrit is 31. Pre op my liver enzymes were elevated and now they are completely normal. I am " cured " of diabetes. I do not have any high sugars but have drastic low sugars ( down to 35 ) if I eat something very sweet. I am thrilled with my wt loss and hope I will loose another 20-25 lbs. I hope to post a pre and post op picture soon. Glenda 9/21/00 278/158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 What is ferritin? When I had my blood work done....my ferritin was EXTREMELY high...I know it has to do with something about my liver...but I don't have a clue...my PCP is worthless!!!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Glenda, That is so great!!! What great weight loss numbers!! My iron is low as well and I take iron tabs and have iron in my vitamins. My cycles are not heavy or even regular so I am not losing it there. Good luck on getting that iron up.. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Congrats on your special one year anniversary!!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Congrats : I don't believe I had read your story before. Very interesting. I have trouble finding any pictures of me pre-op. The few I have I did not like having them made. I pulled out our church pictorial directory the other day and closed it right back up. The picture of the family was good but I looked awful. It was taken 13 days pre-op. You know the funny thing about the picnic. I think when we all saw someone we had seen before or pictures of them on the internet we were all so happy for them and their accomplishments. We were not resentful because they had surpassed us or could wear a smaller size. We were happy for everyone or at least I was and if everyone else was not they were doing a great job acting and should try for a job in Hollywood. You are doing great and just be happy.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 , beautiful story. Your mothers picture is in the best place, your heart and your mind! One year anniversary We have all heard these stories before but I can't help sharing my (briefly I promise). One year ago today I was sitting in the lobby of Durham Regional Hospital. I was a little nervous and apprehensive but more than that I was hopeful. After all --- I was regaining control of my life on that day! I started off with my weight loss post-surgery very slowly - only 10 pounds the first month. Dr. R was a little worried as was I of course. I am now down 105 pounds! I wore a size 26 jeans the day of clinic (the day before surgery) and am now in a size 12 (which is unbelievable to me). I actually did some shopping last night and bought a size M pair of overalls (on the sale rack of course) and a M sweater. I still am in shock when I try on anything in a " normal " size and it fits. I guess that feeling will pass eventually. Overall I am healthy. I still have some reflux which is nothing new - I had it prior to surgery too. I am currently on a Prevpak prescribed by Dr. R which hopefully will take it away completely (it only happens once or at most twice a month). I have more energy, etc. of course. Bankie made a special point of telling me that in my picture on the web I am not smiling and obviously " not happy " . Part of that I attribute to the fact that this was a picture I had to take --- most of us avoided cameras back then! I now smile in pictures. I don't run from the camera. One of my greatest sadnesses is that there aren't a lot of recent pictures of my mother who passed away almost two years ago. She like most of us I think shyed away from the camera whenever possible. I now run and play with my kids --- I look forward to taking pictures with them being silly, etc. Life is wonderful and I wanted to share my happiness today with all my MGB friends. Thanks for always being there for me at the other end of my keyboard. in GA 281.6/176/??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Bankie, Now I'm sorry. I know that you were not saying that I was unhappy --- I phrased my comment terribly. You were right of course - the picture of me is horrid with no smile, no emotion, etc. Now I seem to have a smile on my face at least most of the time! You are a dear and I know that you didn't mean anything bad by your comment. I am sooo sorry if now I have hurt your feelings!
