I went for a follow up visit with my primary care doctor to go over my cholesterol and A1c results.

My cholesterol is 150! It hasn't been under 200 in years!! Bad cholesterol, good cholesterol and even triglycerides are ALL normal!

But the BEST part of all was that my A1c (which measures diabetes) went from 6.4 to 5.3. Anything below 5.9 is normal.

My doctor said I am no longer considered diabetic!!

I can't believe how much of a difference the band has made in such a short time. Its like a miracle!!

Yay, I feel so great!

THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

so, tell me, has your Dr. taken you off all medications???

How much weight did you loose and in what period of time??

I'm in the same boat as you. My numbers are normal now also, but he still has me on the meds. Just reduced all the dosages way down.

Hopefully next visit he will start to DC them.

I was diagnosed last October and they had wanted to start me on Metformin but I refused because I wanted to diet.

Dieting didn't work so I was at the point where I was going to have to go on both diabetes and cholesterol medicine right before I had my band.

I'm so glad I avoided that!

Good luck to you as well! :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
