Hello all! I wanted to share my first NSV with everyone... I have been suffering with high blood pressure for nearly 12 years. I am 1 week post-op today and I no longer have high blood pressure! Just so you can understand my excitement I was on 3 blood pressure pills a day for a year. Prior to that I was on 4 blood pressure pills daily...... I am shedding tears of joy because for the past week my blood pressure has been normal without medication... Prior to surgery after medication my blood pressure was never normal.... Thank God for my sleeve and I am so glad I decided to have the sleeve done.. I know I have a long way to go but so far I would say I am off to an awesome start!!

Day of surgery 249

Weight this morning 239

Hello Sunsetblvd. Thanks for your response and the first day was the worst for me because of being nauseous. I was not in a lot of pain afterwards. I was having all sorts of emotions prior to surgery so what you are feeling is completely normal. You will do fine just be mentally ready for your sleeve. It was literally like a light switch for me... I have absolutely no hunger now at all!!

there is no such thing as a small NSV

You called this post "Small NSV" - are you kidding me???

OMG - if loosing your blood pressure meds is a "small" NSV - what the heck is a "large" NSV????

congrats - this is huge :)

the sleeve "helped" get rid of the high blood pressure - BUT it couldn't have been done without you ;)

keep up the great work

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
