coach99 8 Posted August 30, 2015 I had gastric bypass in Jan 2015. My starting weight was 250, and I am now down to 184. Part way to my goal. I made this hard decision after my diabetes was out of control. I was on the insulin pump, and just was gaining weight. I have 2 children and knew I wanted to be around for them. 4 day after surgery, I was off my insulin pump and now 7 months after surgery, I only give my shots if necessary. I have only had 3 insulin injections since surgery. My blood sugar is now in the 80's or below. I am very happy with my progress. But still have some work to do.
