I talked to the nurse that is going to spend some time with me on diet/etc post-op... the one I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I met at a Weight Wise seminar. I told him my blood work was done a couple of weeks ago but that I hadn't heard anything yet... so he looked it up!
His comments as he said them to me....
B12 - 468. DOUBLE what normal is.
Thyroid - Perfect
Proteins - Good
Electrolytes - Great
Cholesterol - Great
Liver Function - Good
Sugars - Good 5.3 Normal
Coagulant - Normal
Blood Count - Perfect
There's still a few tests to come back (like Vitamin D) but he said this is the best blood work he's ever seen in a post-op bariatric patient! Yay me! I asked him if this meant I had to start exercising and stop using my surgery as an excuse... lol... he laughed. I see him on Aug 18th to go over my food logs etc.
In the words of Charlie Sheen .... WINNING!!
My journey through the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery, my challenges and all the thoughts that spill out...
About VSG
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a surgical weight loss tool in which the stomach is reduced to about 25% of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach, following the major curve. The open edges are then attached together (often with surgical staples, glue and possibly cauterization) to form a sleeve or tube with a banana shape. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach and is performed laparoscopically and is not reversible.
