Because I was recruited for a University of Washington bariatric surgery study, my health was monitored and my blood was studied in minute detail once every year. My numbers were always fantastic, my BMI went down appropriately with my weight loss, and my health has done a complete turnaround since I had the surgery.
I'm 67 years old and will be 68 in July. I had roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery on August 20th, 2007, making me 12 years out from the surgery. I have had no health problems related to the surgery and like most obese people, I was pre-diabetic and had super high blood pressure. My blood sugar now is normal, as is my blood pressure. I lost 115 lbs in 14 months, which was actually more than I needed to lose, and in the last few years I have gained back about 15 or 20 pounds.
I consume my supplements in four doses between the time I wake up and the time I go back to sleep.
