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! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
