You should have some blood work done. You could be deficient in something and one sign of blood sugar being wonkers is thirst.
How long has it been since you've had your Calcium, vit D, vit B12 and Iron levels checked?

I was sleeved with a BMI of 32.5. The 70 pounds I slowly gained in the last 15 years was really taking a toll on my quality of life and was affecting me in many aspects. I used to be a muscular 130 pounds and Had ballooned to 202. The yoyo dieting was taking its toll on my metabolism and I was slowing slipping into a depression where I didn't want to leave the house or interact with people. It was even affecting my marriage because I felt physically and emotionally horrible. Based on my history I knew I was on the road to morbid obesity and I made the decision that enough was enough and I was going to get help. Don't let anyone tell you that this is a tool reserved only for the morbidly obese. I was sleeved on 7/6/17 and I'm feeling great and estactic with my progress. Life is so damn short... follow your gut. 20 years from now you'll regret the things that you DIDN'T do rather than the things you did.

Three and a half years out and still have gas. I have to take GAS X tabs and or strips. Then Tums and Prilosec. This will be always i think but no arm pain

'you should just try to eat less and exercise more. Anything else doesn't work'
Or
' I don't believe you did that! That's so extreme! You're going to regret it!'

"Well, have you tried just diet and excerise?"
Like every other overweight person on the planet, only about 100 times......

Congratulations on your success. You look amazing! Thank you for posting your experience. It means a lot to hear from someone who is as far out as you. I am 15 months out today and am at a stage where I feel like I am finding my balance. I could certainly loose more, but keeping what I already lost off is my biggest priority. So I see a nut and am learning as much as I can along my journey. Your story is inspirational
