Thank you all!
Down South Aussie I've been on Metaformin for about a year and was taking 1500 MG per day. I've been able to lower my a1c a little with exercise but had kind of plateau. My bloodwork has it down to 5.6%. Now Im working on the two high blood pressure pills that Im taking. My HBP has been pretty persistent so Im sure I will likely be on this for awhile but my focus for getting the sleeve was getting healthier and this felt like a step in the right direction. Best of luck to you man and look forward to hearing about your progress and coming off of your meds.
I went to my first post op check in and am excited that already I am able to get rid of Metformin. My glucose level is all normal and Im 30 pounds down. Im so encouraged by the way my body is responding to the surgery. Working on my energy level but just thankful for the wonderful advice I've gotten here as a "lurker" and for this surgery. I feel hopeful about my health and more in control of my destiny then ever before.
Congrats on week 1. I hit a week tomorrow. Struggling a bit crushing up my pills and making sure Im eating enough. No appetite at all. But feel better each day.
Hi All,
Feb sleever here!
I was sleeved on 2/7/18 and so far Im feeling pretty great and down 35 pounds which seems impossible. Going to buy another scale tomorrow. Haven't had any appetite for the last couple of days but I imagine that will begin to change soon.
