Just wondering since there can be so many, I have acute sleep apnea, weight bearing joint issues, migraines, uterine stress, asthma, and a few more I know I am forgetting to write.

RNY on 12/18/13

Here's my list, as well as how they stand now approximately four months after my surgery:

Diabetes (completely in remission)
Sleep apnea (resolved)
Hypertension (no improvement yet)
Hip and knee pain due to osteoarthritis (generally pain free now)
Stress incontinence (resolved)
Peripheral neuropathy (resolved)
GERD (resolved)
Chronic venous insufficiency (greatly improved)

I suffer from migraines, but have Never seen them described as a co-morbidity.

RNY on 07/15/10

Here's my co-morbidities from the viewpoint of 3¾ years out:

Severe GERD- resolved

High cholesterol- resolved

Stress incontinence- resolved

Sleep apnea- resolved

Arthritis- greatly improved

Mobility- greatly improved

Gallstones and gallbladder attacks- gallbladder out, don't miss it, either

Breast cancer- 4½ years clear

Here's a couple not on the surgical list of approved co-morbidities:

Lousy self esteem- greatly improved

Lack of self confidence- greatly improved

Depression and anxiety- almost nonexistent

Satisfaction with life- immeasurably improved

None of this has been magic- I have had to literally work and keep working my butt off.

But, oh my goodness, has it been worth it?!?!

Thank You all for the replies. I am hopeful for the future to be rid of all my co-moribities after I receive my RNY which is still several months away.

Keep in mind that if you choose to have an RNY, you won't be able to take NSAIDs for your arthritis any longer. I knew that I would always NEED NSAIDs. Ten+ years out and 170 pounds lighter, I still have arthritis pain.

Arthritis and high cholesterol were my only co-morbs, but diabetes runs in both sides of my family and I wanted to NOT get it. (*grin*)
