Recommended Posts

I LOVE seeing all the before and after pics but I was just wondering what everyone's before and after health stats were. Improved? Stayed the same? Worse?

I think you will find even people who don't achieve an ideal weight get significant health benefits. I lost a CPAP,my A1c is way down (was inching toward pre diabetes), no more blood pressure meds. My other blood work was always good, but my cholesterol has gone from good to unheard of outside of Japan (that was a joke but my point is beyond excellent).

Since I work out my resting heart rate is 59, which is considered quite fit for a 50year old woman.

In spite of my current cold, I am sick much less and just generally look and feel much younger than my age.

As for me -

I no longer have the arthritis pains in my knees

I no longer have issues with cholesterol

I no longer have issues with blood pressure

I no longer have issues with sleep apnea

I no longer have issues with diabetes

I no longer have issues with working out (much more enjoyable now!)

Although I have added additional Vitamins, my medicines have been reduced from 8 pills a day down to 3, with the 3 pills I take having nothing to do with weight (allergies, etc.)

This is just the health benefits I have realized...there are of course so many other benefits I am enjoying as well!!!

I was sleeved 10 weeks ago and I'm down 70 lbs. my dr. Took me off my BP, cholesterol and asthma meds. So far, I'm fine and feel good. I'm bipolar and my psych meds have been decreased by 1/2 and so far my mood has been stable.

      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?
