So I haven't lost a lot of weight, but with my food choices and exercise I am finally off ALLLLL of my meds! No more, diabetes meds...no more blood pressure meds...no more cholesterol meds! To me that is so exciting!!! I remember a little over a year ago being prescribed them and freaked out because my blood work was so bad. The Dr has now officially said continue with my weight loss and exercise regime and we will continue to monitor every three months, but NO MORE MEDS!!! So basically my message to everyone is keep on trying no matter how slow the weight loss or no matter the amount of weight loss it DOES HELP! :D

That is great and that is my goal. Right now I've cut them by more than half, but I can't wait for the day they are gone. They make me feel so old!

Just got banded 4 days ago and this is very exciting to hear because I also am on all those meds. I can't wait to get off of them, my blood work last week all my numbers were fantastic. I think this was also due to the pre-op diet. Thanks for the info. Good Luck.

Great job - i too have gone off of some of my meds, and the rest have been dramatically reduced. You have lost almost 70 pounds - that is like losing an 8 year old, that is a ton of weight to lose. Great job! Keep up the good work and congratulations!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
