I have become more critical of my body in every aspect.
Physically ? nothing really. The reactive hypoglycemia probably but it's very manageable.

Hmm.. this is good and bad.  I realized what a food addict I am.  It was easy to hide, lol, at 400 lbs all the food I was consuming, but now, much lighter, it stands in my way every day, which is a good thing, but not when it's my head wanting to eat. 
So many positives over having this surgery, hard to think of the negatives.   I'm up on all my labs, thrilled with Gentle Iron for restoring my iron levels.  Numbers look good.
Grateful for the opportunity of having plastics, maybe like Dawn says, hard to get used to the new body.  I'm happy with where I am, just not always naked lol.

Low blood sugar at times can be an issue (i'm having to go to small frequent meals to avoid this). Luckily I'm good with my vitamins and iron etc.

Really i have few issues. I'd like a wider variety of non narcotic and  NSAID pain relievers...

 I guess it would have to be indigestion.  I had it before surgery as well, so I can't complain too much.  I can eat anything and everything, but if I eat too much or to fast, it comes back up (it doesn't happen often).

It has been extremely easy in the big picture!
