Sleeved On June 4Th!

[tjmom 200]

I am 5 weeks post-op. My diabetes is GONE!!!!

My A1c was 10 (yes 10) the week before surgery... Yesterday i went to the doctor............. My A1c was/is 6.6!!!!!!! .............. I no longer any have Type 2 Diabetes!!!! i was on 3 different medications AND on byetta shots...

At last doctor appointment before WLS ..... He told me if i was not going to have my WLS he was going to put me on insulin...

I am so thankful for my sleeve for so many reasons....

Insulin shots were about to be prescribed by my PCP & nutritionist & that scared the heck out of me. I thought, "Oh no, I'm turning into my grandfather"! That was the last straw.

Began my weight loss surgery journey by attending several seminars/webinars & tomorrow I meet with Dr. McMahon at Swedish for my endoscopy & hopefully he'll have some good news for me.

Wish me luck & thanks.
