Just diagnosed type 2...questions..

[allyray 108]

Hi everyone. I had my last appointment with the anesthesiologist and the clinic this week and after all my pre op blood work/testing, they have diagnosed me as type 2 diabetic and can't do my surgery until my sugars level out. Last time my family physician did blood work on me was 5 years ago but never since (kind of upset about this but have to deal with this now). So stsrted metformin 2 days ago. Obviously nothing has changed yet besides the cramping from the medication but just wondering if anyone else out there has been in this situation so close to surgery and how long did it take for things to level out before they would allow you to have surgery.

Thanks

I was type 2 and on the day of surgery my A1C was a 10...I guess all doctors have different protocol...There was a thread last week about this...Good luck!

Do you remember where to find that thread? I am not Bariatric Pal savy yet, so I'm not sure where to find things...

Thanks
