Recommended Posts

It was true moment of stupidity for me. I really meant it as a compliment. Denise again I apologize. Had no intention of offending you. or anyone else at that matter.

Anyway. Over excited newbie set straight.

@@jenn1 No worries, my friend. I wasn't offended! As a matter of fact, I laughed out loud!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share some good news. I had lots of bloodwork done for my 3-month post-op and I reviewed the results with my PCP this morning:

I'm diabetic, and my A1C at the end of January was 12.2%. One month post-op I was 9.6%. Now I'm at 6.4% and that's with being able to cut my medications by over 65%. My doctor thinks I'll be cured by the end of the year. I'm skeptical, but am very hopeful.

My triglycerides dropped by 50% and are pts away from being normal. Much to my surprise, my total cholesterol didn't budge. My doctor says my body is still trying to figure things out, and to give it more time.

In January, my liver and kidney enzymes were elevated, not a good sign of what my future held. Now those numbers are normal.

THAT's WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!

And as of this morning, I'm down 78.4lbs. If I'm lucky, I'll hit 80lbs down by the time I see my surgeon Thursday next week.

Thank you for letting me share.

Be well…

Thats what Im talking about! Wonderful!!!!

3 years later and my cholesterol is exactly the same! Weight loss is great, all other lab work phenomenal but my cholesterol will likely require meds at some point :-(

You're doing great- congrats!

      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! 😞
