VSG MIRACLES

Post Date: 9/27/08 4:40 pm
My surgeon (Dr. Kevin Reavis in S. California) never got tackled by one of his patients before.  I grabbed him around his neck and squeezed  the breath outta him at my 2 week post op appointment....why? ......I was so thankful that he saved my life........4 outta 5 I told him...............he asked me so how did I save your life......

#1   Normal blood sugars  twice a day for past 10 days post op
#2   FIRST low blood pressure reading in over 6 months in his office that day
#3   NO foot pain  over 2 years suffering with plantar fascieitis  on left foot  (my dr. was 
       going to send me to an orthopedic surgeon!! if the VSG didn't help)
#4   NO MORE HOT FLASHES!!!  or rather NOW they are so insignificant I have NOT taken my
        Premarin for 2 weeks!!! 

Now 5th....I have to wait until lab....to see if my triglycerides are coming down.

IS THIS SURGERY A  MIRACLE???  DO YOU HAVE SIMILAR WEIRD DISORDERS THAT ARE NO MORE or NOT  IMPACTING YOUR DAILY FUNCTIONING?  OR IS THIS ALL IN MY MIND??

Not in your mind!!! These surgeries are miracles.

diabetes and meds - gone
blood pressure meds - gone
Sleep apnea - gone
GERD - gone
hyperlipidemia - gone
hot flashes - gone (I freeze all of the time now)
body aches - I still hurt because I have fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis, but the aches of the weight on my ankles and feet are GONE

Welcome to your new life. Isn't it great. Like I said earlier...looking better is SECONDARY to the way my body feels....

Congratulations on all of your positive effects! Makes life GREAT
