Hey Everyone...I am a type II Diabetic and I take my fasting sugar every morning and before the pre op diet my sugars were around 113-124 and now that I am on the pre-op diet with Bariatric Advantage my sugar levels have been between 136-144...is this normal?...I called my doctor but he said to speak to the surgeon and the surgeon said to speak to my primary?!...I mean I am not freaking out because its not that high but still...doesn't seem right...

Did anyone drink the Special K Protein Shake for pre op diet...I am drinking Bariatric Advantage and can only drink 4oz a day its that nasty....anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks everyone!! Good luck on getting approved just be patient it will happen and you will be so happy! I was declined 3 times an kept at it!

Omg I was finally approved from insurance so my surgery is finally in three weeks March 7th!!! OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

And our surgery is march 7th as well hopefully if I get approved she already got approved.

Hey guys!! I live in white plains and been going to greenwhich and Stamford for appointments I'm in the process of getting approved by insurance they had to Appeal but my sister and I are supposed to have surgery the same day in Stamford.

I have Cigna with a BMI of 50.4 and have PCOS and just found out I have type 2 diabetes N was declined...but they said it was because no other physician wrote a letter besides my surgeon. My surgeons office sent in my paper work again hopefully I get approved. Crossing my fingers

Hey guys just wanted to know if anyone was from westchester county in NY or having surgery in stamford CT. It would be great to meet some people around here.

Hi everyone my surgery was pushed to March 7th and I am nervous but I also upset because my doctor told me that I may be a diabetic my blood sugar was 225 today but the good news is a lot of people have said wls reverses diabetes...just a little scared I am doing this surgery to be healthy..my sister is getting it done the same day and I am happy to have her by my side to help me with everything...I have told my bf and he wasn't supportive at first but after this morning when I told him I might have diabetes he's happy I'm getting the surgery because he wants me to be healthy.

I really like this forum I feel like I can just let go..
