LUCYCAT got a reaction from diedie in Body chemistry changes with weight lossno issues with Vitamin deficiency issue that i know of yet- however along the lines of the original post. I think perhaps now I am Bat SHIXX crazy. I am angry all the time. My poor coworkers. Even my cat tries to avoid me.
I was warned that there could be some issues after surgery. I honestly thought if I KNEW what was happening to me I would be able to control it. I am not doing so well. If I am not totally ticked off I am extremely depressed and tired. I am not sure I like the human that is turning out to be hidden under all that extra weight.

LUCYCAT got a reaction from Pookeyism in When Did You See Impovement On Co-morbid Conditons?I had high blood pressure for years. I was on 3 different types of medication that occasionally actually worked. I had my surgery on August the 1st. My surgeon said he wanted me to stay off the medication during the first month after surgery and just monitor my blood pressure.
I am thrilled to say I am 4 months out and I have never had to take another blood pressure pill since my surgery. My blood pressure is totally normal for the first time in years.
I was 3 points away from being diabetic. My blood sugar is now in the normal range.
My cholesterol was 199 before surgery. 4 months later it is 105.
I used to struggle walking up the steps at my place of business. Now I can run up them and not even be winded.
It is amazing the difference in just 4 months.
My one and only regret is that I didn't do this when I was younger.
