  1. I am in the "older" group being 65 and pushing 66! Had surgery March 25th and would do it again today. Diabetes and blood pressure meds stopped the day of surgery along with a 1/2 dozen support meds for the conditions. I only take my Vitamin, Calcium and Prilosec ordered by my surgeon and watch my Protein intake. Blood sugars run from 105 to 130 depending on my food intake...my PCP is happy with the levels but I will continue to monitor the levels. A be all fix all? NO! A new lease on life? Absolutely!
  2. I am 6 weeks post op and just read the symptoms of Ketosis which can include being spacey! I was really worried but I am assured this, too, shall pass! Most of us will experience the Ketosis because of the carb restriction....I have experienced most of the symptoms including headaches....but am finding my perspiration has an odor I have never had before....I live in AZ and summer is starting but I think this is a side effect of the surgery....anyone else had this happen?
  3. March 25 here! So pumped!!!
  4. I am scheduled for March 25 at noon....Dr. A. Chin in Mesa, AZ....am doing a 2 week liquid diet right now...day one/tense, day two/ better, day three/pretty great.
