12345 80 Posted February 1, 2013 I saw my endocrinologist today and she pronounced me CURED of my type 2 diabetes as a result of my sleeve surgery! My A1C was 8.1 last fall. I had my surgery Dec. 18. My A1C today (Jan. 31) was 6.5. I have not needed any insulin or Metformin since my surgery. For this reason, my doctor said she considers me cured. The relief is overwhelming!

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted February 1, 2013 My PCP says that my diabetes is in remission and it makes me so happy. I still watch what I eat and enjoy every minute of it. CONGRATS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clk 3,519 Posted February 1, 2013 Congrats! Mine is in remission, too, and I couldn't be happier. It was the big medical motivator for me to have the surgery and I am so pleased that it worked for me. It's just one more way the sleeve will improve your life. ~Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
