candiecane 3 Posted August 17, 2016 I saw my surgeon last month, my prim dr agrees to the bypass surgery due to my type 2 dietbies, went to the sic that went well, went to the nutritionest and that went well now I have to go for blood work tomorrow. I hope that is all I need to do before they send it in for approval for surgery. I have to go back next month to the surgeon. I hope it don't take to long. I am doing this for my type 2 dietbies is getting uncontrollable now and this surgery would help everyone told me. Abd the weight loss is a plus.

James Marusek 5,244 Posted August 17, 2016 I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass. It is interesting how quickly type 2 diabetes can be sent into remission by the surgery. I was off all my diabetes meds two days after the operation when I left the hospital and haven't taken any since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
candiecane 3 Posted August 17, 2016 That is great, that is what I'm hoping, can you tell me how long it took you to get your approval from your insurance and when you got the surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djmohr 6,965 Posted August 18, 2016 @@candiecane I was off my diabetes meds before I left the hospital and my A1C currently sits at 4.8. I will say my diabetes was well controlled with Metformin and diet before surgery so that may be why it happened so quickly for me. Also, I never thought in a million years I would actually get to a normal weight. Once I got going, I simply refused to stop until I got to an optimal weight and I did not know I would feel that way. The more I lost, the more energy I got and the better I felt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
