Grant Buchan-Terrell replied to steve's discussion 'by pass surgery' in the group Gastric Bypass: The Last Resort"Hi follks! Just a quick note, I've not been active on this website for many months. Did RNYGB in Hamilton, Ontario under OHIP bariatric program April 23 last year, 2010. My A1C has been .060 or less since, so it's as if I'm no longer…"

Grant Buchan-Terrell posted a blog postAlmost 12 months from roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery, all better than A-OK!
Just a short note for those interested, that all is great with my op and post op health - I'm the best I've been since my early 20's, in every way, know what I mean, a nudge is as good as a wink, know what I mean? Dropped insulin day of op, dropped metformin to half, taken w/supper, reduced lipitor to 1/2, cut lipidil and bp med by 1/2, but bp was 95/65 at last MD visit, so told to drop lipidil and cut back bp med. Feel great and am steady at 203-208 weight, but with better weather now, will do…See More

Grant Buchan-Terrell posted a blog post7 months after roux-en-y surgery update
My six month check-up was great, everything in normal range, all vitamin levels, choresterol(sp?), A1C glucose was at 5.65, and last bp at my own doctors was at 110/75. My plateau seems to be at 210, which is fine by me - I can stop buying clothes for awhile, but not get any bigger. Christmas will have the usual temptations - for me, the biggest is homemade nuts and bolts. I feel super and am trying to increase exercise level though it is hard to take long fast walks with my dog when it's -20…See More

Yo! I've not been too active with this site lately, but thought I would add a comment about my latest and six month checkup after my surgery. I'm at 211, and all test results are in normal range. I had a bit of a Vit D deficiency but that has been rectified with high dosage pills I took for a short time. I feel great, love buying new, normal sized clothes (went from 52 to 42 in pants so far) and having lots of energy. I want to be re-tested for apnea, as I'm sure to be almost apnea-free now… Continue
4 Months After Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Hi gals and guys! I've been poor at adding blog posts about my post-op experiences, but all is good, very good indeed. Please see my new photos added, and I will add some recent ones showing my current state. As of today, I'm at 218, after plateaus at 230 and 220 for a bit. Every pound lost is tougher now, and I have to work at not getting back into bad habits that would defeat the exercise, eg, grazing between meals and drinking during meals. I feel great, good circulation and overall energy… Continue
