Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Diabetes High Blood Pressure Arthritis Low Blood Oxygenation During Sleep (Not really Apnea but my oxygenation would fall to as low as 75 while I was sleeping so I had to use oxygen when I slept) Shortness of Breath Fluid Build Up in my Knee Joints I feel like I am forgetting something but that's all I can think of right now. I am 4 months post op (Disposed of 83 pounds so far) and I take no medication for any of the above anymore. I have been off insulin for about a month. Still not as good as I would like but very very close and good enough that I don't have to do shots anymore. I got rid of the oxygen tank about a month after surgery. That was soooo nice!!! You gotta love TriCare!!!! They just took my daughter off once. No idea why...just removed her. Took me about 4 months to get them to put her back on.
