ACK! Surgery is this Friday!

[ladybug1214 3]

Hi all,

I am scheduled to have RNY this Friday in Tiajuana. I am so excited. I am a little worried but overall so excited. My sugars are absolutely horrible. Even on the Clear liquids my fasting is 250. I am so hopeful to see totally different numbers after the surgery. To finally, regain energy, feel my age, to not pee every 15 mintues!!! I have put down a goal weight but I don't really have one. I have a goal of a 4.9 A1C and fasting numbers under 100.

Tomorrow I pack and head to Orlando for my 6am flight on Thursday. I welcome all post op tips and packing things to not be forgotten.

Thanks in advance!

Heather!

Best Wishes on your surgery!!! I am most likely a November gal at least that's my goal anyway. I have to get my A1C down under 9! It was 12 the end of July and my surgeon won't do it unless I am down.

Won't it be nice to not have to really worry about our diabetes! Keep us posted on your journey!

Hi everyone

I had my RNY on July 2, 2013. I was on Insulin 2 times a day and 500mg of METFORMIN 2 times daily. I took 12 different medications. I am off all diabetes meds plus I take less than 1/2 of my blood pressure meds now. I had hoped to get off of them also but I just can't figure out how to destress!! If anyone figures it out please let me know. LOL I now take 4 different meds plus my Vitamins. I got off my insulin and metformin almost immediately after my surgery. My Highest weight (this time)249 Surgery weight 232 Lowest weight 117#'s ( way too low for me my Dr's were getting worried) Current weight 125#'s. I'm 60 years old I am 5.4. I have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis but now after the weight loss I am able to exercise!! I walk 4 miles a day 4 to 5 days a week!! I know without my WLS I wouldn't be able to do these things at all. So just realize getting off Diabetes medication is a real PLUS to WLS!! Good Luck Keep on keeping on!!

Good luck on your surgery. I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass. I have been off my diabetic meds the day I left the hospital 2 days after surgery and haven't taken any since.

Hi Grandma Jan my PCP says my lack of diabetes is more good luck than good planning . Both sides of family as well as both parents. So I may be dodging just in time? R-n-y are you ready for me? I m ready and waiting for you, just getting my sleep study results in. Then late October early November, k-slash, trochar and business day.! Since I'm 70 my "golden" years are gonna be that.
