Shannon explains how her medical conditions improved following gastric bypass surgery.

Shannon:
Since my surgery, I have, my cholesterol is back down to normal; my blood sugar is normal. All of my vitamin levels are, because you do, you do have to take vitamins after the surgery because your body doesn’t produce enough. So there’s a few vitamins that you need to take, calcium, iron, and a B12, which is not a big deal, but I just had all of my levels checked here three weeks ago–perfect. So I am free from any of that stuff and hopefully not going towards the diabetes train like the rest of my family.
