How much is average weight loss by end of 1st month?
shelleyrox replied to kltrn75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost about 20lbs my first month, and another 12 in the second month. I have not exercised much, but am starting a program now. I think 15-20 the first for weeks is probably standard, and I was very happy with that number! -

Stopped taking Metformin -- signs of low blood sugar
shelleyrox replied to MsC's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, Adri... Would you mind sharing how Insulin dependant you were before surgery? I was taking 700-800 units of Levemir daily (7-8) injections per day, until I started taking my Insulin by pump. Before surgery, my A1c went from 12 one year ago, to 9 once on the pump, and now my A1c was 7.7 three weeks post-op! This is the best A1c I have had in many years! I am encouraged by your experience... -
38 days out...I have dropped 25lbs.so far..my blood pressure is normal, and I have stopped using Metformin and Januvia! My surgeon thinks I may be able to come off of my insulin pump in 20-30lbs. I have more energy and feel better than I have in 20+ years!

15 days out and have lost 18lbs so far....Yeah! Recovery was not too bad, and my blood glucose levels are getting better everyday!

AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
shelleyrox replied to shelleyrox's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks for all of your input! It is nice to know that I may not need 4 weeks....wasnt sure, but I do help lift patients off of the scan table ( I work in a fixed base MRI scanner at a small hospital). I have applied for STD and FMLA for my WLS as well as for my Fibromyalgia. I was also planning more time possibly due to being dependant on a pump for my insulin therapy. Thanks for all of the great info, and for listening to my frustrations! -
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! So I finally get a Pre_Op appt and a surgery date within 30 days after that....I have been working through this process for 8 months now, and my Supervisor says " I am not sure I can give you 4 weeks off for an elective surgery!" Never mind that my last extended time off for surgery was 5 days for a knee scope in 2001! UNBELIEVABLE!!

You look great! Keep up the good work! Looks like an awesome trip! Shelleyrox
