Apple Shape

[tkd259 36]

I am an apple shape, I carry all my weight in my belly area. My legs and thighs are slim. Was anyone post op built like that? My surgeon said that I will get the most out of this surgery because of my build, but I have heard that stomach area is the hardest to loose. Just curious. I am also diabetic and very insulin resistant.

Thanks

Tk I am built just like you and have diabetes very insulin resistant. I am having a revision from lap band to RNY on Wed. Hoping this helps the same problems as you. I will keep you informed. I am crossing my fingers that this surgery will be the piece of the puzzle my body needs.

Thanks Vicki! I take Victoza in the am along with ameryl & metformin. At night I take both those and 130 units of insulin. It's crazy!

tk it is crazy I take the u 500 humilin insulin, very concetrated which equals to about 300 units a day.

Yep I live in Indianapolis. My Husband is from Cincy. I actually had my lap band surgery seven years ago in Cincy by Dr., Trace Curry.

Yes we are nearly neighbors

Gastric bypass is suppose to be the best surgery for diabetics. I personally like it because of the dumping syndrome, I wanted something that would help me stay away from bad food. The first place I lost weight was my stomach. It reminded me out the south beach diet phase 1 - nothing white- sugar, Pasta or bread.
