Did your blood work improve?

I am really hoping that once I lose some weight that my blood work will improve!

Tell me some stats before and after significant weight loss, please! I am interested in BP, Sugar, and cholesterol.

Thanks!!!

My cholesterol was under 200 to begin with, but my old/new stats are as follows:

Total - 177 - 109

LDL - 109 - 49

My HDL didn't change.

My blood sugar has dropped below 100, out of the pre-diabetic range.

While my blood pressure wasn't ever high it has dropped back to my normal lower blood pressure - where it was prior to gaining so much weight. I was also scheduled to have knee replacement surgery on my right knee and have now postponed it indefinitely. I've lost almost 60 pounds since I was sleeved in August 2016 and my knee isn't causing me any pain right now. According to my doctor knee replacement is inevitable at some future point but it's not anything I'm too concerned about at this time. No pain, no discomfort and no surgery scheduled. He confirmed the weight loss is directly responsible for the change. I'm very excited and thrilled that I feel so good. It was the best news I could have gotten.


My husband and it came off l BP med each, and I came off Metformin. His insulin dose was cut in half. No more calling rescue in the middle of the night when his blood sugar dropped to 40. Four years since sleeve and definitely have a better quality of life. We are 71 now and even kayak.


Blood work was always normal, but BP was drifting higher even with meds. BP dropped immediately post-op...had to stop meds as i was getting light headed...solid 110/60 with resting pulse of 55 for almost 2 years now...nice to take no medications at all


Wow. This is very encouranging to hear so many excellents results after WFS. I am so looking forward to having the procedure done. I'm in the early stage. My first class will be next Thursday, April 27th. I can hardly wait. I too have blood issues. I'm currently taking BP meds, have very bad joint discomfort in both knees due to arthritis, diabetic controlled with diet. It's my hope that these problems will go away after surgery. There's truly a light at the end of the tunnel.
