Gastric Sleeve Surgery Newbie!

[DoOver 17]

You'll have that. I went through the "no turning back" window of thought. But I am soooo grateful I went through with it. Last year any physical activity was misery. Any. But this next spring I am signed up for horseback riding lessons. And I'm in my 50's.

No kidding, the first 3 months or so are hard. But now, it's just so normal and okay I find it amazing. And I had the occasion to binge eat so it's not like I went in w/ no real serious food issues. (As they explained to me, my idea of binge eating and true binge eating are two different things but that's not relevant if you think you have the issue and I did.)

My advice: Be brave this one time and it will save you many, many other times in the future where you will not have to be brave but will be able to be bold instead!

Good luck.

aww thanks MsBoo79 ... I am doing well... Thanks God I didn't need dialysis ... so I just HBP meds twice a day.. Hopefully after surgery I can stop the meds and the HBP will be gone...

I'm glad to know that you are well, my grandfather was a diabetic and his kidneys were severely damaged from years of uncontrolled blood pressure. I'm sure that after surgery your hbp issues will be resolved...
