If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Well, how about that! I just got them done yesterday and so far the results show that ALL of my vitamin/mineral counts are well within normal ranges, and my A1C plummeted to...
...drum roll, please...
5.6!!!
Just before surgery it was 6.9. Needless to say, if I weren't so tired from doing chores today, I'd be doing the happy dance right now.
I think I just got my mojo back. :-)

My labs were all good as well. My cholesterol was 142, and my bad LDL was only 63! I had to stop taking the B12, as my value was too high.
And to top that all off, I've lost 80 pounds!
Life is good again...
