Sleeve or Bypass?

It sure did! I chose the RNY for that reason too- a diagnosis of Type II Diabetes. I was taken off of all of my medications the day before surgery, and advised to take a fasting sugar reading in the morning, and one before dinner time each day. I'm happy to say that 2 weeks out, my sugars have been consistently between 90-115.

omg! Thank you. I am so hopeful. May I ask did you inject insulin?

Nooooo, thank heavens! I took (what I thought was) a lot of pill medication, but that was my worst nightmare- becoming insulin dependent. I was able to take everything in one handful once a day at dinnertime, which was nice in retrospect. I took my last pill "side dish" the night before surgery, and haven't had one since. I'm amazed at how quickly my sugar went down- I'm keeping my fingers crossed that as I start to add real food back to my diet that they'll stay that way.

I am on 2 types of insulin and pills. I am praying for a miracle. My insulin costs my $1100 for just 1 type for 3 months.

I was a type 2 diabetic on insulin, had the sleeve on October 14 been off my insulin since that day my sugars are great. Good luck with whichever you choose
