yay I'm 12th and I'm very nervous and overwhelmed with emotions n this diet is kicking my ass but I know its worth it my health will be better soon congrats to everyone ??

Has anyone else out there been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3a I was diagnosed in late August. VGS is scheduled for 3/22. My highest weight was 22 pounds more than I am now and that was several years ago. Over the past years, I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, Add to that, this year: pre-diabetes and CKD, 3a.
Anyone had success with reversing (or stopping) CKD, beginning with Stage 3a? Did the VGS help? My A1C only recently hit the pre-diabetes marker.
Previous treatments for obesity have included Saxenda, phentremine, and topomox--for a few years now.
BTW, I am 70 years "young." I don't feel, act or look like an old person. I still work full-time, and I am active with my 5 grandchildren. I have been a 5-mile walker, a few times per week, with friends, for years.

Congrats to all the August surgery dates.
