Wednesday I had my one year post op visit at Grand Health Partners. I am so excited to share some "statistics"! First, my official weight loss is 109 pounds! I had the PA help me close in on a final goal weight. I'm 20-25 pounds away and still on my way. Average weight loss with the Vertical Sleeve is 60-80% of your excess body weight in the first 18-24 months. I've already lost 82% of my excess body weight in the first 12 months! I guess I'm above average!
My BMI has dropped from 46 to 28. I'd like to get into the normal range and I'm very close. I was reminded to stay the course by the dietician and the behaviorist. I have been slipping a bit with the amount of exercise I'm getting, but this week I'm back on track. I ran and walked on the treadmill over 2 miles in 30 minutes the last 3 days! All in all it was a great visit!
What a fantastic year this has been! God has blessed me with good health and a supportive family and many friends to encourage me on my way! I have so much to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
