I was banded on 10/28 and have dropped about 20 pounds with the pre-op diet and the post-op diet. My primary care doctor told me to stop taking my diabetes meds (Metformin) when I got the surgery done, but to continue with my blood pressure meds (Micardis). I had my first post-surgical appointment yesterday with that doctor today and my sugars were great and my blood pressure was low enough to take me off the blood pressure meds too! Woo hoo! I'm officially med free - and astounded that all it took was 3 weeks! :thumbup:

Congrats!

Amazing results in such a short time. Proof we need to drop the weight to become healthier.

I can't wait to have my surgery!

That's Awesome!!!!

Way to go! That is incredible.....and just think, a few yrs ago, this surgery wasn't medically necess.?????????:thumbup:

Congratulations!!!! You have done so well and are so much healthier in a short time. I wish you continued success!!!!
