Another WOW moment for me -- I opened my mail last night. I had received the results of my latest blood test from my doctor's office. Prior to my surgery I was lucky that I had only one co-morbidity -- my cholestorol was really high. I had been taking medicines for it for years, but it never seemed to drop.

Just one month after my surgery -- my cholestorol levels are ALL WITHIN THE GOOD range. My total number is 180. I have to work a little at getting my "good cholestorol" up but other than that all the numbers are well under the target numbers. THAT IS INCREDIBLE! And I don't have to take medicine anymore!!

For me that is clear proof that this has been the best thing I have ever done for my health. I intend to live a good, long and healthy life thanks to this surgery!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Yeah, I am so happy for you! I can not wait for my appointment next week...I hope they do blood work for me! I havent taken my BP meds since the morning BEFORE surgery...what a nice feeling that is since I have added about 10 more to the morning routine (Vitamins and Supplements)! LOLOL
