On December 19, 2014, I had the gastric sleeve operation done.

I have lost quite a bit of weight and am still losing. This was what my surgeon stated was the best for me.

I had diabetes, high blood pressure and low thyroid, among other things.

Since then I do not have low thyroid, diabetes and my blood pressure is just about normal. So I am very pleased to tell you that I am glad I had my surgery.

You have to have the lap band adjusted every so often. I don’t know about the bypass that Loretta Cox said (Oxford Mail, April 13) had caused her problems.
