I am planning surgery for May 2016, not definite date yet. I have several health issues to include myasthenia gravis and diabetes. Are there any other pre ops here that have Myasthenia Gravis?

MEEE!! I have MG. My surgery is May 31st. Im on 60mg Pred which some docs have an issue with mine just said ill need to take something like prilosec with it. There are a few people in my FB support group who have had the sleeve and had their pred intake stoped or greatly reduced.

Im also taking cellcept and mestinon and a ton more meds :P

Awesome! That I even heard from anyone!! No suggestion from my surgeon to lower pred but stated the risks for healing may be delayed. Stated that the benefits outweighed the risks in my case. Currently on 40 mg of pred. Never been able to wean lower than 40.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
