I'm a type 2 diabetic and was debating between the gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve. I decided the sleeve was the best option for me. My question to you guys would be in what ways did the sleeve improve diabetes for you? How soon were you able to notice the changes? Did your doctor decrease your medications or better yet were they taken away all together? I'm currently pre-op and my surgery date is 1/6/15 (I'm so excited, I can barely wait lol) and just wanted to know how the sleeve could better my condition. Thank you:-)

First congratulations, you're doing incredibly great. Secondly thank you for sharing your experience with me. This encourages me even more, and let's me know I'm making the right decision:-)

@@Buttercupbrown Congratulations you're doing great, I can't wait to get rid of my meds, I know you were filled with joy.

@@pinkbunies Thank you for sharing this with me your story is really touching and relatable. I first apologize for your lost. Secondly, I applaud your courage to decide to make a decision that you knew was right for yourself. I too lost quite a few loved ones to diabetes, and still made the wrong choices and procrastinated. This really is inspiring as well. Thank you very much for sharing this with me, and congratulations on your successful path:-)

@@IcanMakeit Oh that was you I heard, I thought I was hearing things lol. Congratulations on your progress, you're doing great. Your success inspires me also. I can't wait to get rid of at least a few of my meds if not all. I think I'll have a celebration just for getting rid of them lol

@@Rogofulm Thank you for the the positive words, and encouragement:-)

Really, I wasn't sure how well the sleeve helped but your results are great. Hopefully I can get rid of my meds and congratulations on your progress. :-)
