[Dreamweaver103 22]

Since January 2015 I've lost 44 lbs. my surgery Roux en Y Gastric Bypass was April 27. Since my surgery I've lost about 30 -- seems kind of slow, but that's more than 10 lbs per month! (I started with a BMI of about 40.). I've hired a personal trainer for strength and I've been walking 40-60 minutes at least 4x week. Very happy with my decision to have the surgery.

I was taken off insulin day of surgery. My A1C is 5.5 now

[SybrgreenTX 28]

My A1C was 14.9 at its highest. I was taking humalog 50/50 and not having much glucose control. 2 days after sugery my glucose was good enough that they stopped giving me insulin in the hospital, and I haven't taken any since then. My currect A1C (this month actully) 5.5! Best decision ever!

Before surgery, my A1C was at a 7, but I had to take insulin at night and take glipizie in the morning and in the evening. Since surgery ( June 22) I am off all my meds and blood pressure meds as well
