kerrysway 46 Posted May 1, 2013 Hi all. I just received my 6 month post-op bloodwork results. My hemoglobin A1C is down from 8 pre-op to 5.6!!! I was in disbelief when the doctor told me. I was expecting it to be good, maybe in the 6's but was just floored to hear 5.6. I was down to just Metformin since the surgery and he took me off that now too. He said my diabetes has fully reversed itself and that I no longer have to classify myself as a diabetic. I am so thrilled with this, I just had to share my good news. 10 deedadumble, Izuri, rebecca_dsu and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12345 80 Posted May 2, 2013 I'm so happy for you! The same thing happened for me. My A1C went from 8.1 to 5.8 three months out. My doctor declared me CURED of diabetes! I was so overjoyed I just sat in my car after my appointment and cried! This is the miracle of the sleeve surgery! 1 MrsG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
