HanSolo1977 261 Posted September 16, 2016 Just wanted to chime in that I got a two-fer when I went to my doctor light headed this week He stopped one of my blood pressure meds... hence the lightheadedness. Then he went on to remove Diabetes from my chart! I nearly cried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HanSolo1977 261 Posted September 16, 2016 Improved health is the greatest reward in this process Way to go!!! This is really why I did it. The comorbidities are more important to me to eliminate than the weight itself. Don't get me wrong, it feels good to get on the scale and eventually be in smaller clothes but diabetes was a dragon I was very keen on slaying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borg/assimilated 576 Posted September 16, 2016 Well, congratulations! That must feel great to have "diabetic" taken off your chart. Your surgeon is in the same group as mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted September 16, 2016 wonderful feeling! this is just great! I had my surgery - went to the seminar right after being diagnosed with diabetes. my recent A1c was 5.4 - when I recently saw my staff did not take my blood sugar because diabetes is not on my chart anymore. I am also off BP meds. everything else is gravy. big time congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
