I am now 3 months post op and down 51 pounds. It has been such an amazing journey. Reading posts here before and after my surgery have been so helpful. I have enjoyed reading everyone's accomplishments and joys from having this surgery. People that were rolling their eyes and wondering what the hell I was doing to my body are now shaking their heads saying damn girl, this really is working. DUH!!! I told you. I'm off all my diabetes meds and the numbers for my sugars are normal without using anything. My main purpose for doing the surgery. The weight came second, but sure is an incredible plus. This surgery isn't a fixall for everyone's problem. It is a tool. If you use it to it's fullest capabilities, it will reward you. It still is alot of hard work, but so definately worth it. Can't wait to see what the next 50 lbs will bring. Good luck everyone with your adventure, work hard at it, it's worth it!!!

I'm really happy for you! It's great to hear people coming off their meds. Have a great time losing and I look forward to the next update!!

Congratulations. One of my main reasons for getting the surgery is so I can come off my meds. Still 6 weeks out and it is stories like yours that keep me motivated. Thank you.

That is so awesome!!! Good for you keep up the good work!!!

So excited and happy for you. You are so right that it's a tool and we have to work it! So glad to hear that some of your family and friends are coming around now that they see how successful you've been. One of my goals is to come off my blood pressure meds, and my dr. wants to do it slowly, but she said I should be ALL DONE by 6 months out. She's been very supportive, and I really appreciate my cheering section at their office! It really is an adventure, isn't it? Keep up that positive attitude.
