Lying here eight hours post surgery...

Ive heard that the gb can make diabetes disappear from you. Wondering how long that takes

I had type II and for me I was right after the surgery.

Same for me with the type II. Left the hospital not needing any meds.

@@Susan33, I had bypass on 1/6. Before bypass, I was on medication for type II though not insulin. I left the hospital completely off all meds to control diabetes. I have been monitoring my glucose level 4x/day to see what happens, and so far the highest I've registered is 124. All others have been in the 90-110 range. So... right away, basically.

Thanks Cat,Mb, and Anaxila. I have type2, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I know the gb isn't a magic cure and that I need to change my eating and activity habits forever. I don't want to say tmi but I need help. I have tbi(traumatic brain injury) with short and long term memory loss from getting hit by car. So I don't understand things right away. My thing is I just need help on what I should eat and workout info. I have gym in apartments and I do the,leg weightlifts and arm weights(3 diff ways), bike for bout 20 min and elliptic for bout 5. Should I be doing more? Any info anyone has I'd appreciate. Thank you.
