weight loss may be slowing down but



Recommended Posts

what ive noticed is even with a slower weight loss my waist is losing inches. Ive learned as my bmi gets lower the rate of weight loss decreases. I should be fitting into a 36 waist pants comfortably in one more week, they are just a little too snug yet. Im hoping I can get down to 165lbs my current weight is 198lbs. But I do remind myself that in the process of the wls and reduction of weight my blood pressure returned to normal, I dont take meds for diabetes anymore, Im hoping that I will not have sleep apnea soon. I know i still have it because i recorded myself at night sleeping to hear how i breathe and snore. the good news is that even with the recorder on voice activated only it only recorded about 1.5 hours of interrupted sleep patterns. So I believe I am getting better as far as the apnea is concerned. I do my 3 month check in this week with the nut and surgeon. then a week after them I do bloodwork with my pcp and i will find out what my a1c is also my cholesterol levels. I hope i can get off the cholesterol meds soon.

We're on a similar boat. I'm off my bp and diabetic meds, but I'm still on cholesterol meds and still have sleep apnea. I can't wait to get off of this CPAP machine for good! I'm hoping to lose a good bit more weight before I go back to see the sleep specialist to help me get off this machine. Congrats on what you've accomplished thus far!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
