I was experiencing organ damage due to my Type 2 Diabetes. Medication and insulin wasn't controlling my levels. My PCP suggested the bariatric procedure and urged me to speak to a surgeon for which procedure would be best for me. The bypass blocks the portion of the stomach that causes the organ damage. I am 7 months post op. Down 85 lbs. I came home from the hospital off all diabetes pills. Within the week I was off insulin. After a couple months I was off high blood pressure meds. I only take thyroid replacement due to my thyroid being removed years ago. My blood tests show no further organ damage and my liver levels have improved. Sleeve or band wouldn't have been the solution for me. Best of luck! You won't be disappointed with the bypass results.

Has anyone been given an idea of great exercises to assist with the drooping skin everywhere?

Would unflavored gelatin added to the protein shakes help? I am losing my hair, all my nails have broken off and my skin is cracking which they said was due to not enough protein? I never thought about the doubling scooping and I will start that tonight.
