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.
