My name is Mary, and I had bariatric sleeve surgery October the 22nd and this is March the 4th. I had it, not because I had huge bad weight problems, but because I had health issues. I had been really sick last year and my diabetes just went crazy. In fact, my endocrinologist would be putting me on diabetic medications, if I hadn’t gotten the weight down and got the sugar levels down.
The surgery itself was not hard for me, but afterwards I had been so sick last year for such a long time that it has taken me a long time to recover. But what happened during that time–almost as soon as I had the surgery–my blood sugar went down and within a month it was just high normal. Now I am totally off of my cholesterol medication and my cholesterol is normal. My blood pressure is normal. Today is was 127 over 77. My sugar levels are absolutely normal.
It was worth it. It was hard. I’ve had a hard time getting totally well, but four and a half months afterward, I’m feeling really good and I don’t have diabetes anymore.
I have lost…I was 170–I’m 132.
If you’re having health problems, if you have severe health problems like I had and you don’t want to live with them forever, then you need to consider it.
I am 67 years old and I am looking forward to the next 20 years of my life without diabetes.
Dr. Tom is a wonderful surgeon. I had no pain after my surgery. I’ve had no problems with leakage or anything else that I heard about that could happen. I healed really well.
I’m very pleased with him. He is very understanding and he was very open with whatever I talked about. I like Dr. Tom and I consider him an excellent surgeon.
