No I did not use insulin befor surgery. The doctor wanted me on insulin but my job as a truck driver say no. I should say that I'm on no diabetic Med's right now and my sugars run from 120 - 180 depending on what I eat. Befor it was 230-300 with Med's.

Just wanted them to be lower and the doctors don't seem to be worried right now so maybe I shouldn't.

I use to take 14 Med's a day now I'm down to 2 a Vitamin and a acid reducer. So I should be happy Right

I would say if the docs are happy, relax a little...just keep an eye on it too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
