Diabetics are your readings still high post sleeve



Recommended Posts

I’m 6 days post sleeve and off all of my diabetes meds. My numbers are all over the place sometimes as high as 177. Is this normal? I was hoping to be “cured” but I’m getting worried.

Congrats on your surgery!

Give it time....You are only 6 days out. Dr's have told us for years to eat right and exercise to combat diabetes. This is exactly your new lifestyle. Many more healthy changes to come your way.

My A1c is now in the non diabetic range.

My doc took me off all the diabetic meds minus metformin. If my numbers are over 100 in the morning, I was told to take one tablet (i was taking 2 a day and 2 other meds). At first it was every other day now I can go about 4 days. I'm 6 weeks out since surgery. Talk to your Dr.

Thank you. It’s 10 days post op and they’re up to 190 without any meds and I worry. Hoping they go down.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
