I'm 9 months post op! I haven't lose lbs in a while too! It's the carbs huh?!! I eat toast and and hamburger bun with my patty! I eat about 100 carbs! Oh no I better turn it down!

When your hubby walks right passed you at Target and texts you 'where are you'!?? lolol When a security guard at works stops you in the hallway and says ' hey you lost weight huh you look great! With a huge smile on his face! I felt flattered....

Ugh Pre surgery I was taking insulin NPH relics a day ; actos pills 4 a day and Metformin 2000 Mgs a day Now I'm post op I ONLY take Metformin one on am one in pm-- this is awesome!! So glad I got sleeved ! My Sw was 283 I am now 237 I only take levothyroxine and Metformin that's it I do have pcos - I don't ovulate on my own at all That's why I had surgery bcuz I want a baby! Been married 10 years and no luck! My ob/gym suggested I get the surgery Here I am! I'm a work in progress but I'm content with my progress I need 60 more lbs to go

My name is Evie I'm 39 years old got married in 2004 Been type 2 diabetic since I was 20 years old Hubby n I have no kids been infertile due to my weight and diabetes my weight was up to about 300 lbs! Drs had done all the fertility testing HSG , endometrial biopsy, ultrasounds , hormone panels and everything looked fine! My gyno suggested I get the sleeve surgery ! I was shocked and insulted at the same time! I guess it was a reality check! Uncontrolled diabetes on several medications even thyroid meds! My Sw 300 weight surgery day 276 cw 237 I went through kaiser harbor city for my sleeve surgery. I have had no complications. I'm still diabetic but my meds have been reduced by 75% Only taking Metformin pills now! Yay!!! My hubby is a 3rd grade teacher and I am a para-educator in special ed for high school students with learning disabilities! Now that I am post op with the sleeve surgery I feel so much better about life I'm not depressed like I was back then! I can see a light at the end of the tunnel! I hope to have a baby some day soon too! Now that most of my stomach is long gone the ghrelin hormone is gone too! I'm not hungry/starving all the time! I have less mood swings and my pcos is better too! My family was opposed to me getting the surgery ! They kept saying your gonna die! You will not wake up from the surgery ! My own family saying this to me! I went for it and I am so glad I did! I am happier and healthier than I have ever been! Plus my marriage is happier too because I'm not sickly or in dumps all the time! Yay me! Be brave! Investigate your surgeon! And begin your new life post op! It's not easy but worth it! Take care everyone !
