Lasik Surgery thanks to the Band..

[B-52 7,113]

Here's a different NSV for you....

About 7-10 yeas ago I attended a seminar for Lasik Refractive Eye Surgery....after which I went through the pre-op testing to see if I was a candidate or not....

I was considered to be a candidate, but was talked out of it by the surgeons because I was a out of control diabetic, taking both daily injections and oral meds.....and all of the vision problems associated with diabetics was explained to me, and was told they were all coming my way....making the Lasik Surgery a waste of time and money....

Fast forward...I have lost ALL my excess weight and body fat%....my Diabetes has been totally reversed for 2 years now, no longer taking any med's....as are all my other past medical issues...(co-morbidities)

I completed all of the pre-op testing yesterday, Phase 1,which took about a weeek.... and have entered Phase 2 this morning which is the 30 day pre-op protocol I need to follow....within these 30 days, a surgery date will be set...

Making it no longer a need for Rx eye glasses or contacts!!!

So, along with my new body I am now getting new "Eyes"

I wish I had this weight loss surgery a long time ago...it has changed so many things in my life...this is yet another one added to my list!!

I am almost 62 years old....going on 40 !!!

B52,, I had the refractive lensectomy years ago.. I went to get lasix and they discovered I had cataracts so I got new lenses in both eyes... I have 20/20 vision.. and it has been wonderful.. you will be so happy you had this done...My diabetes is gone.. no more medication, blood sugar stays under 100 all the time.. blood pressure down to normal and cholesterol dropped so much my PCP took me off of Crestor.. I am 66 going on 30.. lol

That's great for you B-52! I'm looking forward to rewarding myself with LASIK when I reach goal as well. (35 going on 21)

Congrats on another NSV. We have so many and never tell about things that others don't think is important to us.

That is great for you! i have had cataract surgery in both eyes and am now almost 20/20 so I know what you have to look forward to. Good luck man.

PS: be careful what you say under the juice. I don't remember what they use but my doc told me it is a lot like truth serum. He repeated things back to me during my followup that I have never told anyone. It was quite disturbing!!

Mine barely puts you into twilight. But you have to have someone else to drive you, and then go home and sleep for 4 hours to give your eyes a rest!
