OK guys and gals....I will probably be having my surgery in November. I have almost finished all my pre op appointments. I am getting a little nervous but still excited. I weigh in at 237 lbs, 5'5". My Cholesterol is super high, I sweat terribly, and I have high BP.

I am hoping this surgery helps with all of this. So, how much weight did everyone lose that is around my stats? Did it help with health issues? Thanks:)

At my 5 week post of apt and blood draw (with endocrinologist, not bariatric) my numbers looked so good that she took me off metformin! Yay! And that was only 5 weeks out! I am sweating less too. I'm down 30 and the difference is huge with feeling hot and sweaty. It's still there but definitely not as bad. Though I had normal range blood pressure, it did go down. The weight loss you'll have from surgery will definitely help with those health issues!
