Besides the obvious health benefits of being off any and all medications as well as no longer having sleep apnea, the mental benefits are enormous since my weight loss surgery.
Prior to weight loss surgery, I was pre-diabetic, had borderline high blood pressure, sleep apnea & exercise induced asthma. I no longer have any of these issues.
Since the weight loss I am able to do much more physical activity without pain. I am very active in CrossFit and plan to compete locally in hopes of qualifying for regional events. I have also been working through running programs. 5k to 10k to 1/2 marathon to full marathon. The hope is to be at a full marathon by the end of the next year.
For anyone contemplating bariatric surgery..DO IT!! This is the best tool you will find to start a path to a healthier, better you.
My overall quality of life has improved beyond measure!
