I am almost 50 yrs old and suffer badly from RA (RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS). I take Orencia self injected weekly and 25 mg of Methotrexate weekly. I am worried when I stop my imuno suppressants I will get very bad flare ups. I have become very overweight and feel I need to do this. I have done weight watchers, Adkins, and various other diets. All of which only helped temporarily. I usually ended up weighing more after the diet. I am looking forward to my new life.
I am now 2 months post op and no longer need any of my RA drugs. I no longer need a CPAP machine. I no longer take cholesterol statin drugs. I feel so much better after losing almost 65 lbs as of 8/16/2015. This surgery saved my like the advantages have come to far out weigh the risks.
