That is great news. Happy to hear it! 

Very good. 

My FIL gets his labs drawn about every 2-3 months used to be monthly. He has one kidney at 12% doesn't seem to bother him at all. I remember a couple times last year where the dr would call me early in the morning and say get him to the ER now his K is sky high. We'd get there and the results they took would be normal. Ugh he was 84 then and lemme tell u that's not good on an old man! So then they stopped taking labs at his office and now we do it at the hospital. Never had a high reading since. Now it's only every 3 months. I knew your numbers were too good to go bad like that when u r doing things right w your woe and living.  

Congrats on that! 

So pleased for you, Ron! :) 

I go for blood tomorrow and have the results next Thur. Hope mine are as good as yours. Congrats Ron! 

Great stuff. Really good news. 

Great news and congrats on getting this far...good luck! ! 

I hope you have great success on that day dboza! They just freaked me out with their "false" reading. So far on this site, everyone is slimming down, dropping meds, changing life for the better!! I am so happy for all of us! There IS hope and you CAN grab it by the tail and hold on for a dizzying ride to a better you! (GROUP CHEER-YAY!!!) 

Thanks for the pep talk Mistybenner. Would never have thought that about different labs for the same network (BCBS). I believe Dr Ambaw will send me to OU Medical each time now. Have a repeat checkup in 3 weeks. My goal is to shock the hell out each Dr that said "your too fat, your gonna die". He told me out of all the kidney patients at that clinic, only 2 of us are making progress. Of course you've heard that for years "you need to lose weight" but nothing ever seemed to work until now. I'm proud to know and learn from all of you FS warriors! Hoo-ahhh! 

Great progress Ron. Glad the blood work went well. Keep moving forward! 

Ron you are one our success stories and we all just have to believe in eating healthy, whole foods will make us lose weight and live a healthier, happier, drug-free life! We teach each other. All of FatSecret Warriors are CHEERING YAY!!!! 

I'm so excited for you Ron! They say that nothing taste as good as skinny, but it should really be said that nothing taste as good as healthy. Your killing this and it is only the beginning! 

Awesome work Ron!  

Keep up the great work brother. And when Doctors yell at you about diet for health, they usually only do it out of ignorance. They just don't know the truth because they too have been lied to their whole lives. 

Very good! 

Congrats! Good changes.  

Go Ron you can do it 😊
