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! :)

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.

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. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
