LisaBaja 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Hello group! I'm new to the group. My Dr. (on Friday) suggested the surgery to control my Type2 diabetes. I have been unable to control my BS level or get it down with meds and many failed attempts to lose weight for the past 5-6 years since being diagnosed. My close friend since childhood had the surgery and is doing GREAT. I was excited when when Dr. actually recommended it for me. I made the first appt for the initial seminar at Cedars Sinai, it's this Saturday. Naturally I have a lot of questions but I'll save most of them for during the seminar and to the group later on as I get more info on the process. Not sure what else I should mention at this point of the introduction but this is a start =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaBaja 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks Y'all! So far I'm just trying to learn my around this site and reading some posts. At this stage of the game I could really use a good comeback for the lifetime skinny people I know who are already not afraid to tell me how wrong this surgery is because apparently they're all experts on weight loss and MY diabetes.
