Just curious if anyone else out there is having gastric sleeve with a "low" bmi. How did it help your co- morbidities?

Was 36, sleep apnea pretty much gone. Cholesterol level improved but still taking medication (lowest possible dose though), no longer get dizzy spells if I eat shell fish so yey!. I also had a sliding hiatal hernia repaired, no more heart burn issues.

Was 34 bmi, 49 years old (which isn't old!). Now 9 weeks post and 30+ pounds gone. Hubby says I've stopped snoring. My inflammation markers dropped from 9 (high) to a very normal 4. Pain in feet and joints is less. I had the surgery to dodge the Diabetes bullet. It is rampant on both sides of my family. I was heading that direction.

@@MrsPenguin that is my story too. Iam 49, was sleeved nov 29, BMI 35. Iam 36 pounds down. Stopped snoring and my BMI is at 30. Due for blood work at the end of February so will find out about my cholesterol levels then. Feeling so much better both physically and mentally.

...yea everyone pretty much in mine is type 2 diabetic. COngrats! I bet you look great!

I'm 47. Had RNY on 12/20/2016. In Sept 2016 I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Started BP meds, metformin & victoza which made me so sick. I lost almost 30# pre-op so BMI was 35. The day before surgery, I stopped all meds. Everything is in normal ranges now. Since surgery, I've lost an additional 25#.????

BMI 35, high BP, high cholesterol, sleep apnea.

I haven't had blood work done, so I don't know about cholesterol yet. My blood pressure was down to normal within a few weeks post-op. Sleep apnea was no longer a problem within the first 2 weeks.

I've also noticed that I haven't had issues with plantar fasciatis since the surgery. I also have had less joint pain.
