a new me coming
hello all. Just dropping a note to say that as of today I am 4 days smoke free. Yep I am doing it!!! I went to the doctors on Friday. My diabetic levels are GREAT! My iron is GREAT! My thyroid is twacked. They upped those meds. Before I could ask for the bipass, the doc asked me if we could discuss my weight. He explained that he consulted some specialists in Boston and they concur that with my thyroid disease I medically could not lose any significant weight. SO would I consider bipass surgery. I nearly cried, I was so relieved and happy. Relieved because I don't over eat and it's been proven. Happy because within 5 - 6 months I will be having the surgery. I will be able to get off blood pressure meds, diabetic meds and reduce my thyroid med intake. I will be able to run and even look on the outside like I feel on the inside.
