Awesome!!! What was your weight on the day of surgery??? For me, I needed to lose weight, but my issue was more about the impact of having diabetes, high lipids, triglicerides, high BP etc. I am off all of my T2DM medications and my blood glucose levels have been normal. Losing the weight has been great, but the change in my glucose levels under control has been the most important aspect of this for me.


279. I have high blood pressure and I have a follow up medicine check to determine the steps moving forward.

Wow - that is great regarding resolving your medical issues. Good job!! You have to be here for your family and friends!!

You're 100% right!!! I have two little girls, 7 and 3. They need their daddy!! My grandpa was just like me--diagnosed with diabetes at 44 (same as me) and had the same stomach. He had his first heart attack at 46 and lost his leg to T2DM at 57. I am not going down that road if there is anything I can do about it!!!!!

Very nice progress, your little ladies are lucky to have MAMA as good example, maybe they won't have to go through what we have by now. ❤ & Prayers.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
