Aribay1 198 Posted April 11, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited April 12, 2015 by Babbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
