Diabetes

[Savarra 9]

I'm on day 13 post surgery and for the last week my blood sugars have been amazing - my highest value was 128. I'm off all diabetes medications at this time. I'm hoping so much that this continues when I'm eating more than 400 calories a day. I'd love to hear your experience with the sleeve and how it's impacted diabetes. I'm so nervous that this is only a reprieve and not permanent. Resolving my blood sugar problems was a very major reason I had this surgery so I'm really hoping the change is permanent. I'm Down 21 pounds which is great but irrelevant for diabetes resolution. It has to be the surgery. Right?

That's great to hear for all of us looking for those same results after our surgeries. Thanks for sharing

That's wonderful news. I am type 2 and insulin dependent and it's the main reason for me having the surgery. I'm hoping for the same results! Were you on your meds through you pre op diet as well? Good luck and please keep us posted.

Savarra,ntaschner, IsB, welittle1 - and all other fellow diabetes sleevers

one big plus of the sleeve is usually your meds/insulin improve - or meds/insulin stop

hospital took me off all meds, next month i saw my PCP - i was told to continue no meds - with blood work to follow - 3 month later A1C was 5.1 OMG

have been off all meds/insulin since WLS, i am 9 months PO

good luck to all my fellow diabetes sisters/brothers in your future

WooHoo

Yes, I took all my medications through my 3 week pre-op diet.
