First time poster here. I had my RNY surgery just about a month ago and had my first post-surgery follow-up last Thursday. Doctor basically confirmed that I was making excellent progress. I had already been taken off my blood pressure (BP) medicine just a few days after the surgery. That was fantastic since my BP medicine was my most expensive daily pill. However, my blood sugars were still really high. I've ordered a control solution to check my glucose meter since the morning that I did the blood draw my glucose level was 147 but according to the labs my glucose level was 190. The blood draw was just 30 minutes after the 147 reading was taken, and I had been fasting in preparation for the blood draw. I am a little disappointed that I'm still having to take insulin (albeit a much lower amount than I was pre-op or even before I first met with my surgeon back in February), but they did warn me that since I've been diabetic since around 2002/2003 (and essentially went undiagnosed until 2006 since I refused to see the doctor and loved the weight loss I had as a result of being a hard core diabetic), I might still have to take some insulin for a while and maybe even still the rest of my life. They didn't do a cholesterol check, but I've always kind of questioned my cholesterol results since they always came out great, but I've been on Crestor since 2006 as well. I'm hoping I can be taken off of that medication at some point. I do have an appointment with my endocrinologist at the end of this month so we'll see how things go between now and then.
