Hi, i was sleeved on 21 apr. got off d pills before surgery n was told nt to take them after that.

My sugar was pretty high for 5 days after surgery.. It came downnreal slow.. I thimk it was arnd week 3 or 4 until it stablises at the "normal" range... Doctors are still monitoring myac1 but has given me the chance to not be on pills first..

Be patient.. It' ll happen if u stick to the plan!

My dad was diabetic and was taking metfomine and glyburide. He had the sleeve 7 months ago and no longer takes the glyburide but does still take the other. His levels are under control mow tho. As far as the pain after surgery, its not too bad. I did throw up and gag alot in the hospital after surgery but it stopped after a couple of days. things are great now at 4 months out. Good luck

I was sleeved on the 17th. Stopped all diabetes medicines the day of surgery. My sugars have been in the low 100's ever since. I see my endocrinologist next week. So we'll see what she says!
