After surgery diabetes



Recommended Posts

Positive post for people living with diabetes and in the pre op phase. I became a diabetic at 29 in 2018 my first blood sugar reading was 329 A1C 13.5.I was put on meds metaformin and insulin, but changed my lifestyle and was running too many lows so was taken off. In 2020 I started to get real bad yeast infections( TMI) checked my blood sugar 521 A1C 11.5 scheduled an appointment with a endocrinologist was put on humalog and trujao soloster. After getting my A1C down to 6. I was put on Ozempic and trujao. Two weeks after surgery I was told discount all meds and that I didn’t have to see my endocrinologist anymore. Since surgery resting sugar is always 70 never below and after a meal in the 90’s the highest it’s been was 104. Sorry for the long post but I wanted you all to know my struggle. Btw I had surgery 3/3. I hope others who are undergoing surgery due to weight and diabetes get the same blessing!

Diabetes is cured by WLS like 80% of the time...that's exactly why I had it! (I was pre-diabetic, but with my symptoms getting worse and only 5 years younger than when my dad got it, I knew I was about to get it.)

It's so fascinating that drastic diabetes improvements are seen right after surgery - not just after the weight is lost. Just like you experienced! Congrats!

wow, that's amazing!! I needed to read this today! My decision to seriously consider WLS was motivated by my uncontrolled diabetes. I've been struggling for years to get my blood sugar under control with little success. Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm nervous about the surgery but I know that my diabetes is slowly killing me and I have to do this for my long term health.

Thats one of the many reasons why I chose gastric bypass. I have been borderline diabetic many times and im so scared of developing type 2 diabetes.

Yes, my doctor told me RNY is better for diabetes and that’s why I chose that one over sleeve. I’m loving the readings after and before meal and most importantly fasting sugars are great! No more lows!

I hope you have a speedy recovery. After the surgery was a rough road for me but once the swelling goes down things start to flow!

Thank you for this post! One of the biggest reasons I am doing surgery is because of my uncontrolled diabetes. When asked why I am undergoing such a drastic choice to control my weight and diabetes, I tell them I would Rather give up part of my stomach than to give up my feet or eyesight to diabetes! Here’s to a favorable out come!

I'm one of the sad exceptions. I was borderline pre-diabetic and chose bypass hoping to stave off diabetes. For the first three months post-op, my fasting BG was around 70-80. But after the three month mark, it shot back up into the 90's, and today, two years out, it's right back to where it was originally -- typically 95-104 fasting.

My A1C went from 4.9 right after surgery to 5.2, so I'm still reasonably okay, but the surgery did not change my situation at all.

@Prestonandme those are still great numbers congratulations. I am 20 days post-op my numbers went from 200 into pre-diabetic numbers 100-120 not sure if it would get better as I am loosing the weight. Happy Holidays and thank you for sharing.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
