I am 7 weeks out and I saw my endocrinologist yesterday. He informed me that I am no longer a diabetic. No more injections & no more pills. I love my sleeve.

Wow, that's great. How long were you a diabetic? I'm hoping when I see mine, he tells me the same. Middle of next month, but I don't know that he will do anything right away, might keep me monitored. My sugar levels have been really good, except yesterday, they were between 179-189, This morning 112, which is great. well congratulations on your good news.

I am told that once diabetic always diabetic. I came off Metformin at sleeve surgery (after 1 year of being diagnosed), but my husband is still insulin dependent twice a day. He has been on insulin 30 years. One nurse who works for our surgeon said she has not and will not ever come off insulin since her surgery several years ago. Diabetic problems is one reason my husband and I decided to have the sleeve, because the older you are the worse it gets. I hope WLS helps a lot of people never reach the point of needing insulin for diabetes. It wreaks havoc on your bodies. Our A1C is excellent since the sleeve, and that is a Godsend!
