Off My Diabetes Meds After Sleeve

[SleeveSoon 191]

I saw my endocrinologist today and I am now off all of my diabetes meds after being sleeved on 9/1. Before surgery I was on 4 meds: Metformin, Glimipiride, Victoza, and Lantus SoloStar. I am pretty happy with this news.

I still need to check my blood sugars on a daily basis, especially as I move through the next few dietary stages. Hopefully I will be able to stay off of these meds.

Congratulations! I am really happy for you! That was my biggest reason for wanting the sleeve surgery. I hope after my surgery I can Celebrate with you!

Great job. It's a rewarding feeling when you know your weight loss is positively impacting your health.

Congrats!! I came off all my blood sugar meds (Victoza and Glipizide) day of surgery and have been off since. I recently came off my cholesterol meds! As the weight comes off our health really does improve.

I had surgery on 12/7 and prior, took Janumet 2x a day and Victoza. In the hospital post surgery my insulin went over 150 a few times and they gave me one unit of insulin each time. I can home yesterday and was instructed by my dr to start taking Janumet once a day and Victoza again. But I tested my sugar first thing this AM and it was only 112 after fasting and 117 2 hours after eating. I am not going to take any of my meds because I am afraid my blood sugar will drop too low. I am pretty psyched. I was only diagnosed with T2 about a year ago and I really think the pre-op diet and surgery have reversed my T2D already.

That's great!! I have been type II for 16 years, and I am afraid mine is here to stay, but with living a low carb life style I need very little medication.
