hi all,
i wanted to give an update. i saw my surgeon last week and had my first fill, plus my family doctor as well. i'm down 21 lbs - i have to say i thought it would come off faster but it is coming off. i was on several medications for several years. i took 1 pill once a day for type 2 diabetes, 1 pill twice a day for type 2 diabetes, 2 pills once a day for high blood pressure and 1 for cholesterol. i see my fam doc every 3 months along with having blood work done. he took me off my 2 a day type 2 diabetes med, off 1 of the blood pressure med and changed my cholesterol med to a lower dosage. when i go back in November i am hoping to be taken off of all meds. i'm sooooo happy i had this surgery my goal was to get off the meds and of course to lose the weight . good luck to all!
