I posted first way back in March, 2013. I went to a doctor, finally, was diagnosed with thyroid issues, HBP, severe obstructive sleep apnea. I was feeling like I was going to die and was not really living. I was scared beyond belief. I was put on HBP medication, thyroid meds and began talking to my doctor about WLS. I began the process in September and was sleeved two weeks ago on Jan 13th. Tomorrow, I see my doc for my two week check. It is a process, but I feel like I finally am getting a grip on my life and have a chance of living. My surgery went very well, took two weeks off work, as the first week I was sore, nausea, and tired. The second week was resting, taking stock and learning all I could about how my new relationship with food was going to look. So far, no regrets, anxious to see how much I have lost, as I can definitely feel some difference. Hoping to end HBP meds and snoring already reduced. Thyroid, stuck with that but I can deal with that one!

Congratulations on your journey to becoming a happy healthy you. I was sleeved on 10/02/2013 and had a lot of the same problems you mentioned. I am down 67 lbs and still have about 90ish lbs to go but I am so much happier and healthier already, no meds except thyroid now and I am excercising daily and feeling better about myself.
Best of luck and this board has a lot of information from old threads and new that I found very helpful.0 -
I was sleeved on January 14. I felt much the same way. I go back to work tomorrow and am excited and nervous. Good luck!0

I have stopped all meds except reflux meds-those now mandatory 2 x a day but maybe after 50 more lbs I won't need them. Sleeved 11-20-13, 52 lbs lost. I have open diary so feel free to look at what I eat. If you have really let go of your Kryptonite foods you will be amazed at how quickly your life will change. Good luck!0
