Almost 1 year out
I had my surgery on 4/11/14. My weight before the two week liquid diet was 312, and I'm about 5'8". Today I'm 158, and with very little loose skin. What little there is they are going to get with a full lower bottle lift on April 5. My doctors are thrilled at the progress, as they only expected me to go down to about 186. Since my roux-en-y, my blood pressure has lowered and i'm no longer on the ACE Inhibitors, my liver is no longer fatty per ultrasound, and both sets of enzymes have stabilized. I never was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, but my glucose levels were creeping up. They have also stabilized. I feel better than I have ever felt. I was not always heavy, so perhaps that is why my body lost the weight quickly and easily. One thing I did do...I followed all instructions to the tee. I take all my supplements daily and never miss, and I get all my protein in, usually with a Gladiator protein shake from Smoothie King...every day. Good luck all!!!
