Type one diabetes!

[lmascato 20]

Hey everyone!!! So I'm planning to have the RNY...hopefully sooner than later! Just started the process though in July and see the surgeon next week. (I've already seen the np) Ive also done blood work and NUT visit....I've gotten all my specialties doctors to write letters of support and I'm psyched!!! What an amazing app with stories of good, bad and everything in between!! Love it!

Do we have any type 1 diabetic success stories? I've had diabetes for 21 years now (was dx at age 11) my bmi is 36 and I have a ton of other issues however, what was your diabetes like post RNY? I know I'll never go into remission but just curious the effect on type ones? My doctors seem to think I'll gain better control....however, on the insulin pump I've had for 4 months has dropped my a1c from 9.3- 6.7!! It has made me gain 25 lbs though! Yikes!

Hello, I'm a type one and planning on doing the RNY in November. Just met with the surgeon for the 2nd time and said most of my life things will go down or be gone, except for the diabetes which he said should be under better control. My A1c are always 9.0 to 11. And I now suffer from burning feet with neropathy, (msp). I've done all my appointments and did all the phone coaches from the insurance. I've been on the pump for 5 years and the nurse told me today after the the surgery I will bottom out with lows so I will need to have my endo adjust the pump to work with the new diet. Good luck with your surgery and would love to hear how it works out for you.
