I am just starting out on my journey here, I thought when I lost 100 lbs in 2019 I would never be this heavy again. Unfortunately that is not the case and I am the heaviest I have ever been. In 2019 I was diagnosed with POTS and EDS which honestly explains many of the issues I have had since I was a child. My primary referred me to see bariatrics and now I am here. I have had my initial consult which was quite interesting and daunting as with a complex medical history there are additional steps. I have my first “medically supervised weight loss appt” coming up this week (way better than waiting til Jan.) I am here looking for friends, good vibes and advice all welcome.

Good to know, and you healed pretty well?

actually I just got my blood work back yesterday and I am showing similar numbers

SAY IT TO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!! That is true! I also see that @SpartanMaker said that as well. I can loose the weight BUT keeping it off and staying healthy the entire time??? Not so much.

Personally I notice as I loose weight my POTS symptoms worsen, and my EDS gets better so I am hoping to find balance between the two. Did you struggle with sodium intake or hydration after surgery?
