Hello everyone, I wanted to post an update on my weight loss since I had my surgery with Professor McMahon at Leeds Nuffield on May the 28th so nearly 4 months ago.
It's been a learning process these last few months and truly a rollercoaster ride of weightloss, sickness and missing food so all in all happy and at times quite sad but I do not in any shape or form regret having it done!
I have gone from 17st2 to my current of 12st12, I'm thrilled with my weightloss and although it has slowed right down in the last month I feel better now I am able to eat a tiny bit more and I'm sure it's best for me to lose slower now.
My glucose levels have gone from 10.5 to 5.2 and should carry on dropping, my BP has come down and my cholesterol has dropped from 6 something to 4.3
My husband only comes back from abroad (where he works) every few months so he didn't see me from before my op til mid August and he was needless to say thrilled, he couldn't keep his hands off me and was so glad he could wrap me in his arms again and both his hands would meet (if you get what I mean)
All this to say to people with their understandable fears and worries pre-op and very newly post-op, the future for you healthwise is so much brighter.
All my love Laura x
Would love to post before and after pics if anyone can please help?
I don't mind emailing them to someone because I'm quite useless at posting links ect so if anyone can help I would be so very grateful.
