Starting weight 410. Current weight 250. 60 more pounds to go.

This surgery changed my life & I'm not thru yet. I'm no longer diabetic. My sleep apnea is gone. My neuropathy in my feet is gone. I've lost 16 inches in my waist. My blood pressure & cholesterol is in check. I can choose a booth instead of a table because I'm too fat to fit in it. My energy is incredible. I'm now addicted to exercise. I walk 3 miles 4 days a week. I lift weights at the gym 3 days a week. I look forward to what lays ahead next year. My dog has even lost 25 lbs from all the walks. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself & also the hardest. I look forward to being under 200 lbs. Hopefully I've added a few years to my life. I'm 60 yrs old & I'm getting another chance. I appreciate all the support I got from this group. It really helped me get thru the rough patches. Thanks again

Great story you have really had great success through your hard work.How long before the diabetes and neuropathy went away. good luck.

I was taking 2 shots of insulin a day. No shots at all day after surgery. Neropathy took a little longer. Probably 6-9 months. It was so bad I couldn't walkvfrom one side of Wal-Mart to the other.

Congratulations.

Fantastic success story. You have been working so hard and are deservedly reaping the rewards.

I'm sure your dog must be happy too ????

What a great story. I just had my surgery yesterday and leaving the hospital now.

Good Luck to you Ann

Thanks everybody for the kind words
