Chronic health issues, surgery over 50
Hi, Laya,
I had lap RNY 3.5 years ago. I had High b/p, diabetes II, incontinence, apnea, pain in my lower joints, wheezed when I walked, had to sit on a stool to do the dishes, etc., etc., etc.
Within a month I had cut my meds to where I was no longer taking any diabetes meds and was at 50% on my bp meds. By 5 months, I was totally off all meds except for my vitamins and supplements. I had hit the 100# mark by that time as well (that included pre-surgery weight loss, too).
I was also insulin resistant. I'm healthier than I had been for many years.
Most of my weight was around the middle, and my doctor didn't seem to have any difficulty.
I think you'll be absolutely amazed at how well you'll feel. I look forward to reading all your fun posts about your WOW! moments to come.
Good luck!
