Diabetes & My Sleeve!



Recommended Posts

I am happy to report that I am free of diabetes!!!!!!!! Hallelujuah. Thank you Jesus!!!! I just came back from my endocrinologists office and I do not have to take anymore insulin. I am going to continue to check my sugars once/twice a day just as a safety precaution but otherwise I am done. I am so happy!!!

For all of the diabetics out there there IS a light at the end of the tunnel!

POOF IT'S GONE!!!!!!!

FYI: I was sleeved July 17th... It's August 1st. Now how do you like them apples!!!? *Happy Dance*!!!

My PCP won't say that I am not diabetic. He says my diabetes is "controlled" despite the fact that my a1c and blood sugar have been normal for 6 months. I'd say he's full of @#$&.

I too am praying for the sams GREAT results/news. I was sleeved 7/19 and do not go see my md until late Sept or early Oct for him to run my a1c. Fingers are crossed that the weight will melt off between now and then so he tells me the same good news.

Congrats and keep it up!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
