Much to be thankful for

This was me last September just after I asked Dr Partridge to refer me to a Weight Loss Surgery program. I weighed 318 lbds.

I had given up on cholesterol meds because they cause too many side effects. I was on Metformin for diabetes, 2 Blood pressure meds and thyroid medication.

This is me in November 2009. Three months post op.

I now weigh 243. I am off metformin, and only take one BP pill a day. Still take my thyroid pill but may be able to get off it some day. I feel better! I can get around much better.

Cholesterol is better but not perfect yet.

In addition I am thankful for my sisters who are so supportive, my church family who lift me up all the time. For Lu and David who take me into their family evey Thanksgiving. And so many more people and things I can't mention them all or ths blog would go on forever.
