diabetes

My mom just told me she was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis. She told me that it runs in our family and that my great grandma died of diabetes. Fabulous. Wish these 6 months would go by already so that I can start my journey! June hurry up! sleep study nutritionist consult and blood work left.

That's exactly why I decided to have VSG! My Mom developed Type 2 Diabetes, HBP and arthritis. I found her on the floor w3ith a massive stroke Christmas Day 2009. She didn't make it. THAT decided me!.

Now, 3 1/2 years out - 110 pounds lighter - size 6/8. I'm 60 - no meds, no sleep apnea and no diabetes. It will pass quickly!!! Good luck!

Apparently, I also have the same height/weight as my "great-grandmother" and she was in a wheel chair from arthritis in her spine. I've been diagnosed with the same. These next few months need to fly by for me, as well! I want to have mobility and not have to worry if I will end up in a chair with wheels... hang in there! We'll be sporting our size SMALLS soon enough!
