Type 2 (or ex) diabetic men



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 5 months ago and my dad seems interested because he likes my results.

He's young 40's and has been type 2 diabetic since he was 20. I belive he is a bit over or under 300lbs

He's health seems to spiral down and I'm worried because he has so many joint issues.

I want to know if this sounds or sounded like you and how you did and are doing.

Did your diabetes go away or did your medicane decrease?

I just want what's best for my dad's health

If your a woman in the same range I'd like to hear from you too.

Sleeved at 47. I was teetering on full on Type 2 Diabetes, and was on Metformin. I also had dangerously high blood pressure (158/102) and was put on medication for that. After 2-3 weeks being sleeved, I was taken off both medications because my numbers had improved so much :)

I think your dad sounds like the perfect candidate for sleeve surgery if that's something he wants to do. Help him out and show him this site and others he can get some good research about it to make the decision.

You're a good daughter :)

Yeah I mean I'm not saying I wasn't big buy I was 259 and luckily didn't have any illness but I was almost diabetic. I know this surgery is great for those with the hardcore issues. Like my dad but the idea scares me it's weird.

Thanks for your response

Yeah, you're young, that's why no medical issues really. It's a good thing you nipped it in the bud when you did, cause getting older and being obese doesn't do any favors to your body!

I had the surgery because I was type2, as well as high blood pressure and it has helped both

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
