Im in the 100's and way down on insulin



Recommended Posts

It has been 19 days since surgery and I weigh 197 this band is awsome.We had our family Christmas yesterday and I tryed several outfits from my closet. TOOOOOO BIGGGGG.Thank you God.The most awsome thing is I am down from 65 units of insulin to 10.I love my band.This band has probably saved my life. I was becoming brittle before I found the ambertose that held me till surgery.

After 19 years of diabeties I had diabetic retonopithy and neropthy ( pardon my spelling).I had to have my kidneys checked every three months.

I feel great and my blood sugars are Awsome.I want to get out and walk so I can see my scales each morning go down down down.I have always been large but my belly was a lot bigger than it should have been for my size.Weighing 218 I was in a 42 and it was tight in the stomach. The legs in the pants were to big but I needed that size because of my belly.Saturday I actually bought just a extra large off the rack rather that a 2x. The first thing that went was the double chin and now my belly is melting away.

Friends

Thank you for supporting me when I almost backed out.I do not think I would of had the surgery without your support.

I find it truly incredible how the first 20 pounds gone felt! It's amazing how far your insulin units have gone down, in such a short period of time! Isn't it wonderful?!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
