Hey everyone hope all is well.

Im doing so-so Developed hypoglycemia. My sugars keep dropping rapidly especially at night no matter how i eat!!! I get heart palpatations, check my sugars they are at 55-60 I go have a snack and eat my orange gluclose pills as directed. Ive been to my surgeon the cardiologist and primary. Low sugars are def cause of my palpatations. So basically i must watch them seriously at night and keep sugars up at a good range. im at 196lbs slight gain but im gonna say its due to the snacking to keep my sugars up. im hoping this side effect doesnt last forever. Hopefully i can get back on track again. Its really a scarey sitiuation to go through. My surgeon is even suggesting i get the band to slow down the food process. Thinking about my options.  Talk to you soon! Happy Spring

Ive been told to eat more complex carbs. which im trying out now. my overallhealth is much better. Im greatful for what i have lost and keep off Once in awhile i still get naseous enough to vomit, my stomach has a mind of its on it seems.

Hey friends! About 2 weeks ago I went and got a second opinion on a revision from sleeve to bypass. The surgeon agreed that I need it. So they submitted to my insurance. Now drs office said it might take some time and additional criteria on what i would need to do to be approved. Well wat do you know 1 day after my birthday which is today We get the notification that my surgery is APPROVED!!!!!!! Both the coordinator and myself are in a state of shock! All i need to do is get my clearance from my primary and cardio and my surgery is sceduled for 10/7 Im in a state of shock! This is all happening soo fast but nonetheless im soo happy that I can move forward in my journey to a healthier Me. Now the nerves are kicking in alittle bit! Hoping Surgery and healing is a breeze. Thanks for reading hoping my story helps others! Well keep posting....

Hello Friends! Hope Summer is treating well. Ive been on a depression ride. My Gerd is horrible, even with meds nothing works. My weight is 220lbs. So i have had some regain. I went thru alot of anxiety to have a EGD- which came back ok but showing my hiatel hernia. My surgeon is very hesitant to even talk about revision. Im getting frustrated with having any more meds. I cannot take meds for the rest of my life. Anyways so i decided to go and get a second opinion. Met with another surgeon he seemed very nice and understanding. He evaluated my case and said yes to revision. So im currently waiting for insurance approval or the criteria in what i need to do. Or which clearances I will need. Everyday has been a struggle and worry for me. Im hoping everything goes well and im back on the right track with my health. Having bad GERD effects everything so getting that under control plus hopefully losing a few more lbs will be a bonus. I will keep you posted, enjoy the rest of your Summer!
