So, I just got back all of the lab work from my 1 year surgery follow up and the doctor was ecstatic! He actually said “If my blood looked this good, I’d be a happy guy!” I am no longer diabetic (of course that was gone within 3 months of surgery) and my blood pressure is staying normal. Overall, I feel like a different person, and am truly enjoying the new me.
Now, if I can just shed this last 10-15 pounds… 😛
