kempermorris 144 Posted December 28, 2015 Starting weight 410. Current weight 250. 60 more pounds to go. This surgery changed my life & I'm not thru yet. I'm no longer diabetic. My sleep apnea is gone. My neuropathy in my feet is gone. I've lost 16 inches in my waist. My blood pressure & cholesterol is in check. I can choose a booth instead of a table because I'm too fat to fit in it. My energy is incredible. I'm now addicted to exercise. I walk 3 miles 4 days a week. I lift weights at the gym 3 days a week. I look forward to what lays ahead next year. My dog has even lost 25 lbs from all the walks. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself & also the hardest. I look forward to being under 200 lbs. Hopefully I've added a few years to my life. I'm 60 yrs old & I'm getting another chance. I appreciate all the support I got from this group. It really helped me get thru the rough Patches. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kempermorris 144 Posted December 28, 2015 I was taking 2 shots of insulin a day. No shots at all day after surgery. Neropathy took a little longer. Probably 6-9 months. It was so bad I couldn't walkvfrom one side of Wal-Mart to the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
