Well, this morning my digital scale hit the number I've been longing for 199.5! I had the gastric sleeve on July 11 in PV. The surgery couldn't have went better. I started my journey at 264 back in March of this year. I was below 250 when I actually had the surgery, thanks to strict adherence to the Pre-Diet regimen. I have had issues with Acid Reflux and am still dealing with those and learning to live with it and manage it. Would I do it again YES, it has given my my life back and hope for a much longer future that is diabetes free, easier on my painful joints, and my blood pressure is now within normal ranges. I am on half the dosage of BP medication that I was before surgery, and by the time I reach my goal, hope to be off of it completely.
I'll take acid reflux over diabetes, hip replacement surgery and the increased risk of stroke and heart disease any day.
