7-weeks post-op exam ("Sleeve")
I had the vertical sleeve done on March 3rd, 2009.
I'm still feeling better by the day - in fact I find I have more stamina NOW than pre-surgery! My 7-week post-op exam & extensive lab work last week went very well except I'm pretty low on Magnesium & REAL LOW on Vitamin D. My surgeon prescribed Rx for the D deficiency & an OTC supplement for the magnesium. My Proteins & heart-related labs were excellent! My blood sugars are the lowest they've been in a decade and I'm down to 3 diabetes pills daily (from a high of 7 pills daily pre-surgery). Best part is I've lost 55 lbs since surgery; 66 lbs from my highest weight in February (when I started my pre-op diet.) Can't complain!
Any other middle-agers+ had the sleeve? How ar you doing?
