Thank you

And how many grams of Protein should I be taking in per day?

Hey good people, how long was it before the doctor cleared you to get back in the gym to do some weight training.

Hi people, my friends call me Mal, I seeked out doctors to discuss if I qualified for the surgery. The last 5 years I suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes. I was a body builder before being hit with all this and the most I weighed was 220. I got up to 265 pounds which is the heaviest I ever been. I knew how to get the weight off from my experiences of competing as a body builder but I became limited in the gym, not being able to do anything without severe pain in my joints. If it wasn't for the Arthritis I could have shed the extra pounds with no problem. Although most patients get the surgery for being considerably overweight or obese, I found out from watching a special on CNN, Dr. Oz show and others about how the surgery when done sends Diabetes into remission immediately. Before the surgery I took 5 shots a day through the stomach of Insulin and 12 different pills a day. Since surgery I haven't taken one Insulin shot and went from taking 12 pills to 3 per day. I have lost 11 pounds in one week and I'm feeling much better and more healthier. I highly recommend anyone that's suffering from Diabetes and can't get there weight down to get this surgery if you can. I have no regrets.

Oh that's good stuff there partner.

Your right about the gas. Plenty of walking did me good.

Good Luck with your surgery. May God see you through surgery with no problems and your way to better health.

What a difference it makes once we get rid of all those extra pounds. You look simply beautiful.

Congratulations. Get well soon and take it slow.

Hi Beth, I was told that a lot of walking if you could is really good for getting rid of the gas. I'm 9 days after surgery and I experienced very little gas but when I did, walking really helped. Also I was told to stay away from apple juices until 14 days. That can also be causing gas. Hope some of the info if not all was helpful. Have a great day.:-)
