[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2445501, member: 196960"] The use of bariatric surgery to obtain low calorie on top of a low carb diet allowed me great weight loss too, on top of low carb weight loss. I was morbidly obese but no more. I suspected gallbladder problems due to pain but I had no stones. It was removed due to it being twisted and wrapped in adhesions from old operations. So definitely not from weight loss as I didn't remove all natural fats. Medium natural fat is suspected of warding off gallbladder stones. I relied on that one but old scars let me down. Not the method of reducing my diabetes status. To date I hv very little spare skin. I hv well sealed hernias. Hernias from weight or heavy lifting. Latter most likely for me. Metformin causes me digestional problems too. God knows where trap nerves have been caused by as insulin therapy has stopped but my trapped nerves in back and neck still at times effects are severe. Being able to lose insulin therapy is a huge plus for me. Beautiful new clothes too. Oh and of course the discharge letters from hospital departments. Low carb eating initially gave me heart palpitations with a little more carb and less levothyroxine I'm now left with only chest pain which is suspected arthritic as ibuprofen gel works very well. I will try more weight loss strictly in new year but money is now for Christmas. So praying weight loss but no palpitations. I'll monitor heavily now I'm a few years older. I've very rarely used statins, ever but my weight loss adventure has made no difference to my cholesterol. HDL is high and LDL is still low. Even on butter, eggs and lard. Still combined a good level for a diabetic. Overall loads to celebrate. No negativity. It took me a while but great I'm here to tell the tale. [/QUOTE]
