I was asked by my dad, who I am trying to convince to consider the vsg, how it actually resolved diabetes and insulin resistance. I know it does but I'm not sure how. If anybody out there knows the medical side of it, I would really appreciate it. I think if I can explain this to him he might be more inclined to consider the surgery, he is right now over 400 lbs. and 6'2". He was just diagnosed with diabetes 2. I am very concerned about him but I can't make the decision for him, he has to do that himself. All I can do it to give him as much info as I can. I would also like to know because I am insulin resistant (my insulin levels are in the 2000's instead of the 200's). My surgery is scheduled for the 19th, can't wait. Just trying to get more info for myself and my father. Thanks.
