@KDBaker is was the “walking ? and ?” best comment ever.

@learn2cook I love my hairy man boobs ????????

@FutureSylph ? very Interesting indeed. Some are affected by not getting enough sleep, other by anxiety, even with something that we might think is that simple as your fluid intake is really not that simple. What I have learn from this forum is work with my team to find that zone that works for me. I really appreciate you taking out of your time and provide me with this feedback. Thank you.

@ShoppGirl this gives me hope in terms that I not alone with this struggle. It is so frustrating smh thank you for sharing this.

I am having such a difficult time loosing weight pre-op is not even funny. Has anyone experienced this phenomenon it can be due to anxiety, bad patterns of eating etc. can you share you experience and how did you overcome it?

@Kenda0928 kind words thank you for sharing you experience.

In addition to psych meds I also take Ranexa for microagina they are XL - wanted to know the experience of people in this forum who have been diagnose with some type of heart Diseases Have they change your medication post op? Is your heart disease is in remission? Are you doing better etc? Any feedback would be great thank you for taking out of your time and giving us some hope with your experience.

@vikingbeast I am so excited and happy for you. It will be superb. Godspeed keeps us posted

@JessLess that is good to know thank you for sharing

@Candace76 that is the goal to improve on sleep.

@GreenTealael interesting ?

@Arabesque yes we checked that too. They were with in normal levels.

@Elidh that is what I am hoping for as the result of the surgery

@ShoppGirl we did tried some sort of medication that helps but it did not work for me

@njlimmer that is all I am hoping for at least to get a restful and continuous sleep more than 6 hours ??????.

@lizonaplane Yeah my doctor just told that is my body act works even had my urologist look at it and no issues with my prostate I know that is a huge factor specially for men over 40. I am a coffee head, but I usually stop my last cop before 3 pm. I will just have to wait and see how is turns out for me. And congratulations your on your upcoming surgery.

Some context. I struggle with insomnia (I take lunesta and magnesium) sleep apnea (using my cpap) and because of diabetes I wake up from 3 to 5 times a night for a bathroom break. Lunesta and Magnesium are my combo to get at least 3 hours of continuous sleep. I know that sleep apnea improves after surgery. How about insomnia and getting up at night do to diabetes? Has anyone else experience any improvement with this?

@Arabesque excellent source, and yes I thought of that to. Basically you body is in Ketosis for the 1st month and from the researched I’ve done it should help with the inflammation. Thank you for the link.

Another query that comes to mind is post-op inflammation. I read that several natural remedies can aid in the process of healing and inflammation such as curcumin, ginger, and CBD. Has anyone dealt with this or has any experience? Please share

@boogie2dope I can appreciate the fact you took out of your time to redact and provide feedback. Thank you very much the sentiment is reciprocated.

@Sunnyway what a great repertoire of books and resources. They do have OA meetings that focus on Bariatric Support.

@Lynnlovesthebeach I will get my binder in advance thank you for your feedback

@Arabesque I’ve been sober for over 5 years and I was hesitant to manage my pain with opioids. However, my discomfort was so great after the gallbladder surgery that I needed to take them only as prescribed.

@Arabesque thank you so much for the great vibes.
