Type 2 Diabetes, where have you gone?

I am 19 days post surgery and I am no longer on any diabetes medications of any kind. My blood sugar was 94 after fasting. Its absolutely amazing to me! I wish I had done this surgery years ago!

Congratulations, it is only the beginning!

Thanks so much!

Congratulations! It feels great, I know! The same happened to me. I was off all my diabetes meds (Glucophage, Glipizide, Lantus and Humalog) by the time I left the hospital a week after surgery. My blood sugars remain stable and range from 90 -115 now. Feels good getting rid of all those medications, and I had to do minimum 4 injections daily.

So awesome @ I am so happy to hear that! Gives me hope it will just keep getting better!

@nuzzlebear40- wait till you go see your PCP a few months after surgery and (s)he writes either "resolved" or completely erases "Diabetes Mellitus" from your chart! That was one of my best victories from having this surgery- I have absolutely nothing on my medical chart now

@@SuzeMuze that would be so epic! Congratulations, you inspire me!

Congratulations!! I was on 12 shots a day until I was put on an insulin pump. The day of surgery they took me off and now at 6 months out, my blood sugars are still stable. It feels great not having to worry about that anymore. I can't wait to see what my A1c is next week.

[nuzzlebear40 29]

That is amazing @@michellew1 congratulations to you as well!

I was off of my diabetes meds when I left the hospital. Pre-op, I was on extended release Metformin and Byetta. My fasting blood sugar was running in the high 150's. Now, my fasting runs in the upper 70s! I love it!
