Hello! My name is Denise from California. I am 62 & waiting to see my surgeon hopefully in 2 wks. I'm having the sleeve. After seeing what my younger sister (50ish) & 40 yr old daughter experienced after having the sleeve I thought I would try loosing my weight naturally. I have been attending a Healthy Balance class afford by Kaiser since Dec. 2016 & have lost 10 lbs. Something I haven't been able to do in years after trying several diet plans. Anyway I saw my bariatric Dr. Who mentioned that since I was diabetic that having the surgery would be good for my health since it can bring my diabetes into remission. I was diagnosed with diabetes about 6 yrs ago. He said the longer I have this disease the more likely I can develop complications with my diabetes. Does any have any thoughts or suggestions on this matter? I would appreciate any feed back. Sent from my SM-T530NU using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm new to this form. I saw my bariatric doctor yesterday. All my test were normal but for some reason I am experiencing high blood pressure again! I haven't had any problems with it for almost 3 years now. I was told that I will be scheduled to see my surgeon in about 2 wks. Hopefully I will be able to get this blood pressure under control by then! I am 62yrs old and I am otherwise in good healthy & excercise regularly. Sent from my SM-T530NU using BariatricPal mobile app
