I haven’t posted in a very long time, but I wanted to share something, I have lost 8st since Feb 2023, through having a gastric sleeve, it isn’t a quick fix by any measure, I have to manage my nutrition daily to make sure I get all the vitamins and nutrients my body requires for the rest of my life but I can tell you it’s the best decision I have made for my health, at the healthy weight I am now my MS is of course still there but I have such a better quality of life. I’ve done more in the last year than I have the past 5 years with the condition and being overweight. I always felt personally attacked when I was told to lose weight by my neurologist or GP I tried for years but due to the MS and fibromyalgia I struggled majorly I’d lose some then get poorly be put on steroids and pile it all back on and more. I can confirm losing weight has made all the difference to my life personally I can’t say it will be the same for everyone of course but for me i feel it’s given me back some of the energy I just didn’t have carrying around that extra 8st on my small frame 🙈 I hope this post doesn’t offend anyone and it helps maybe one person who is struggling with weight loss and managing the condition/s It hasn’t affected any of my conditions in a negative manner at all either. Of course this is all my own personal experience please speak to your own health care professional if you’re thinking of going through your own weight loss journey be that a gastric sleeve or another surgery. The treatment I have is Kasimpta injected monthly unaffected by the surgery I also used to take a huge amount of medication for pain management and such all of which I no longer take since losing weight.
