Topic: RE: Interesting Medical Journal Study - WLS & Interpersonal Relationships
WLS may/can cause problems in any relationship especially, marriage. With that being said, it takes a lot of work on from both sides to keep that relationship good. I have found myself on both sides of the fence (both husband and I have had WLS). And it's not a good place to be.
 It's a great day to be alive.

Topic: RE: Slim For the Summer (2024)
I'm trying myself to get a little slimmer for summer, 2024. I've got 7 stubborn pounds to get off, to get to my mini goal by June 1st.
I'm gonna be upping my protein and veggie intake. And keep a very close eye on the carbs and pesky "slider "foods.
 It's a great day to be alive.

Topic: Low wbc after gastric sleeve surgery

I had gastric sleeve surgery 10/25/2023. My white blood cell count went down to 5.4 in November. Late February it was 4.4 . Now it is April and it is 3.9. My primary care is concerned so i was referred to a hematologist cancer center. Has anyone else had this issue ?

Topic: RE: Gastric bypass hypoglycemia

Had revision from vsg to bypass almost 3 years ago for GERD and am experiencing reactive hypoglycemia and rapid gastric emptying no matter what I eat. It's led to regain from 143 to 163 since my revision. Even after a meal of dense protein like chicken my pouch is empty super quick, my blood sugar plummets to below 50 and I need to eat again. My insurance approved Wegovy with BMI 27.5 because of this so hopefully it helps. I expected issues if I ate simple carbs or sugar but it's everything and I never feel full even if my blood sugar doesn't drop.

Topic: RE: Interesting Medical Journal Study - WLS & Interpersonal Relationships

Sounds interesting! WLS (bariatric surgery) can truly have a significant impact on various aspects of a person's life, including social relationships. In college, I was asked to read something, so I found an annotated bibliography writing service, I use https://ca.edubirdie.com/annotated-bibliography-writing-serv ice for this. It's simply unbearable; on the first page I'm already falling asleep. But I could read magazines like this for days. There are really interesting facts written there.

Topic: Slim For the Summer (2024)

Hi everyone!

I would like to get slimmer for Summer 2024. I have 5 lbs. to lose, to get lower than a BMI of 30 (advised by my Doctor). I will eat small meals only. I will take my medicine.

Who else is trying to get slimmer for the summer?

Sorry to hear that. I've heard that some folks find relief through things like gentle stretching exercises, massage therapy, or even acupuncture.

A sad, but predictable, follow up to my post last July about the horrible side effects some patients were experiencing as a result of using the medication, inc. "gastroparesis" (stomach paralysis) ..
