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.

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.

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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
