It’s official! 2 of my goals are crossed off ~ I was able to go off my diabetic meds the 2nd day I began the optifast! Then I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication about a month or so ago! I am beyond ecstatic and amazed! ...determined to not go back!!! Anyone else?

oh, first day back at the track today since the snow is gone now! Loving it!!!

Congrats! Thankfully, I've already gone off one (of three) diabetes meds and my hbp meds have been cut in half. Hopeful that after surgery the others will be unnecessary quickly after surgery.

May it be so for you Mrs Gamgee! Looking forward to updates once you've had your surgery.

I was off mp BP ,Metformin, cholesterol medication and no longer have sleep apnea. Almost immediately after my sleeve surgery. But my reflux is much worse than it was before. Had to add more medication for it. Waiting for approval from my insurance companies for the RNY revision to get rid of the reflux (praying that it works)!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
