A1C dropped from 7.1 to 5.8

I am 7.5 weeks out from my VSG. I am pretty darn happy about these results. My fasting glucose was an 82. Have others seen these kinds of dramatic shifts?

That is WONDERFUL!! Mine went from 9.8 to 6.3 I was ecstatic and so was my PCP, she said it will get even lower, I'm working very hard at it...That was my primary reason for having WLS. It WORKS!!!

Keep up the good work 😉

I agree, my health, especially the diabetes control was my number one reason for getting the VSG. Thanks for sharing your great progress.

Add me to the list. My A1C's have never been higher than 7.1, but I have morning syndrome--so I would get big spikes in my blood glucose in the AM. Pre-surgery I was taking 1000mg of MetFormin a day and 1.8mg of Victoza. Even with the meds, my morning glucose readings were anywhere from 125 to 170. When I was discharged from the hospital after surgery, I was cut down to just 500mg of MetFormin a day. For the past 10 days, my morning readings were between 79 and 105. My PCP suggested I stop the MetFormin and see how my blood sugars are doing. So, without the metformin, I had a BG reading of 82! I'll see how it goes over the next couple of days, but I am really excited by this! I am not going to have my blood work done until March, but I hope I see a big drop in my A1C's just like you guys.

You will and yes I waited for 3 months after surgery to have blood work done.

I wish you the best! and keep up the good work.
