Well, I am at the beginning of my journey.  After battling diabetes, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea, my primary care physician suggested I consider gastric bypass surgery to resolve those co-morbidities.  In August I attended the information session at Fairview Southdale and started going to monthly appointments.  I have completed the Health Partners required classes.  I need to lose 10 pounds prior to the surgery and am at minus 7.5 as of today.  I had to get my A1C to be under 9, and from my labs last week I was at 7.0.  The next step is for me to meet with the surgeon which will be scheduled shortly.  I am anticipating surgery scheduled during the first quarter of 2011.  I can't wait to have diabetes and other issues resolved.
