Type Ii Diabetes

[MelanieT 0]

I am considering weight loss surgery especially since I recently discovered I have type II diabetes as a result of too much sugary foods. I used to be 9 stone once upon a time and I want to go back to that weight. I am currently 15 stone

I am nervous even thinking about going for surgery. I live in Ireland and I have heard a couple of unpleasent stories but I feel like I dont have much choice at this stage.

RNY is no different than other surgeries - there are risks and there are no guarantees. But as you well know, there are risks and no guarantees with obesity as well. Approximately 85% of RNY patients experience a remission of their type 2 diabetes and that's pretty amazing odds. It is well documented that RNY is the single most effective treatment for type 2 diabetes currently known to medical science. And...you're gonna love the new you! Welcome to the forum! You're in the right place!!
