A Picture of Health
Well I had my appointment with the physician on Friday to check my overall health. My BP was 125/80 - which was great. I had no kidney or liver issues, no sign of diabetes, the only slight issues were a cholesterol level that was at the top end of the normal range and iron levels at the low end of the normal range. The doctor said neither were major issues. She asked alot of questions about my sleep patterns and I think she was dissappointed that I didn't snore or have any sleep issues (she is a sleep disorder expert). She also asked whether I had had any other operations or major illnesses, which I haven't. She then laughed and said I was a picture of health......
. It's just the joints that are giving out for me - the pain in my back now goes into my hips if I stand for too long. It really worries me that if I don't do something fast I will permanently damage something,

In response to some of the comments I have been getting - yes I know this a drastic move, I am not kidding myself or recommending this as a get slim quick strategy. I have tried for 30 years to achieve weight loss in the traditional fashion. I now believe I am running out of time to achieve the results I need to function properly. I have investigated this in alot of detail and discussed with my family who are supportive of this option for me which is very telling. You have had your say please except that your opinon is not only the opinion. I am writing this blog on here as a true and honest representation of this process so please continue to read andyou never know maybe you will be proved right in the end!!!
