manderdjs 36 Posted February 1, 2013 I knew that having the sleeve would help to loose weight but at 3 weeks out labs I am SHOCKED!!! From the first day my blood sugars have been between 70 and 80. (Very normal) I was boarder line diabetic at 140 before surgery. My blood pressure from day one has been 117 over 70 so I stopped my bp Meds until I saw the dr again. My cholesterol before surgery was 270 (high) but I had stop taking Meds 3 months before surgery b/c I ran out. I went in for my 3week labs and was shocked in a great amazing way! I have lost 20# with 80# more to go. Dr said no Meds needed for high blood pressure or cholesterol. And I am no longer borderline diabetic. All my labs were NORMAL. I haven't seen normal labs in years! I wanted to loose weight with the sleeve but my main goal was to get my health back normal. I knew it would happen but instantly after surgery was a shock. I am so happy and feel so blessed right now! I just had to share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
