Greetings!
I had gastric sleeve surgery 2 weeks ago, and am now looking at online support groups. This one looks good!
It took me a very long time to reach this decision, and it was probably the right choice, given my increasing health problems (knee pain, hypertension, pre-diabetes, sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation). I lost 20lb preparing for surgery and have lost another 20lb since. After a week, I was starting to feel pretty good, but now I'm struggling a bit. I've gone from hypertension to hypotension in the span of less than a week! I've also been quite fatigued. I seem to be getting enough fluids and protein, but am trying to step both up to see if it will help.
I've also gone nocturnal! I'm typing this at 3am because I couldn't sleep. Well, nobody said it would be a picnic, but I'm hoping things improve soon.
