Hi! Have you actually had this done yet? I had this done 12/8/11 and my sleep apnea, diabetes and high cholesterol are all gone!! Still on a low dose of blood pressure medicine, but doctor seems to think I'll be off of it within a month or so. Yay!!!! I'm just kind of down on myself about the weight loss. I thought I had read everything possible about the surgery, but it seems to me the weight isn't coming off very fast. Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but I thought it'd be falling off. Two weeks after surgery I had lost 20 lbs, which I thought was great! It seems to have really slowed down now. Although my scale isn't the best (I need to get an accurate one), I went back to the doctor after another week and a half and had only lost 2 lbs., which I guess isn't bad, but was hoping for more. Please let me know how your surgery goes! I'm anxious to compare and get some tips from you.
