I weighed 222 on surgery day - so during surgery and the 2 days in the hospital the IV fluids managed to allow me to gain 6 lbs.

Lost 4 of them in days 3 and 4 post op - days 4 and 5 have not seen the scale move.

But I'm sure I am not done yet!

NSV's -

1) Have not taken any diabetes medications since two days before surgery (I was on 3)

2) Have not taken any high blood pressure medications since one day before surgery (I was on 2)

Pretty sure the high blood pressure medications are done. Not sure if the diabetes medications are gone forever, but my numbers are really good and I do believe that once I start eating real food again and exercising at a deeper level, those medications are history too!!

Those were two of the main reasons I had the surgery in the first place so it is already winning BIG in my humble opinion!!

Congratulations to you!!

welcome to this site. speaking for myself, and probably many others, improvement of there health is one major reason people have WLS performed.

in my case i also have diabetes, i took meds and insulin. DOS 12/15/11 my PHP told me to stop all meds for diabetes. i was told to stay off the med til i saw my PHP again shortly after surgery. Now, no more meds or insulin per dr. couldn't be happier.

hopefully with your decrease in medical problems, i will right behind you.

continued good luck and best wishes

Yay!!!! You go girl! I know that scale will move soon! Our bodies sometimes stall a bit and then it continues to melt off again. Hang in there!

Congratulations! Sounds like things are moving right alpng

Congratulations! Improvement or resolution of diabetes and hypertension are major reasons for me to have the surgery.
