My mother had the MGB in May and has lost > about 35 lbs, but she is 71 years old. I think Doc R. short-sheeted the May people. A lot of us are losing slow. But then there's Genz. P-b-b-b-b-b-l-t, Genz, you skinny thing!! Your 71 year old mom's got me beat, and I'm 47 and had my MGB on May 18. I've lost 29 lbs. (8 weeks)! > She has greatly reduced her insulin and as she looses weight she will hopefully be > able to discontinue it. so as you can see I am greatly interested in any into I can get. I haven't had to take *any* meds for obesity-related ailments, other than what Dr. R. puts us all on, since surgery. I have had *zero* ankle swelling, whereas before, even with a diuretic, my ankles and legs would be badly swollen. I have a lot of get up and go. And I don't have the reflux thing at night anymore, either, which is *really* nice. And the best thing of all, NO MORE TOILET OLYMPICS!!!!! > Talk to you later. > Ruth Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
