Any one from India?

Hi, my post op. weight was 106 Kgs (234 lbs.), Morbidities: DM Type 2, Hypertension. Blood glucose: not less than 350 any time, even after Insulin dosages.

Weight on date of surgery: 101 Kgs., Date of Surgery: Nov. 02, 2012.

Weight after one month of surgery: 85 Kgs. (187 lbs.), down by 16kgs ( 35 lbs) in 30 days.

Stall for about 4 weeks and now it is 81 Kgs, about 25 Kgs/55lbs less.

No more insulin required since about last 2 weeks, blood sugar under control (between 90 -100 anytime) with antidiabetic tablets. Hypertension under control (120/80) with reduced doses of anti hypertensive medications.

Did not experience any problem any time except in 4 th week. Had very mild dehydration. I.V. DNS 1 unit on two consecutive days resolved the issue.

Returned to work in 4 weeks. Take adequate Proteins and nutrients. Losing weight slowly but steadily. Target: 72 Kgs, (158 lbs), I am in no hurry. Shall be happy to reach in six months from now. Main object is to be off anti diabetic tablets too and glucometer should always and at any point of time show reading below 120....!!! :-))

Having dream run, life is like never before. :-)

Welcome!

I am not from India but spent a month in your beautiful country many years ago in Madurai and Thiruvananthapuram.

It sounds like you are doing well and have a good outlook. I am glad you realize it is better to not be in a hurry.

I got rid of diabetic tablets, blood pressure medicine, and the C-Pap for sleep apnea.

Good wishes to you!
