Wow, I am so glad to hear how well your numbers went down following surgery, clk and Kemo46! That really encourages me! I am on 1000mg of Metformin daily and look forward to the day I will not take it anymore. My surgeon told me that I will stop the Metformin right before surgery and will not be put back on it after surgery; because the success rate is so high for controlling the diabetes. I am glad both of you posted, makes my day

Great overall information!

Wow, you look great!

Sure will

World According to Eggface is AWESOME

I have diabetes and I am scheduled for the sleeve in Jan. My doctor never mentioned to me that the bypass was better than the sleeve for diabetes; BUT my friend who has diabetes that is not control currently was told the bypass would be the best option for her AND we go to the same doctor. I have an appointment with the doctor next week after my pre op testing is done and I am going to ask him why he told my friend that see should think about the bypass because of her diabetes. My diabetes is controlled now with medication but I am worried about down the road and years to come if my diabetes will get worse. I have a strong family history of diabetes. I do not want the bypass but I also do not want diabetes anymore.

Hi, I just switched my date from Nov. 28 to Jan. 16. Doc. says you need to rest for about 4 weeks to heal, there is no way I will rest in Dec. (who does?). Is there a January sleevers group yet?

Hi, Sad to say but I am moving to the Jan. sleevers (If a group exists) I changed my date from Nov. 28th to Jan.16. Just way to busy in Dec to rest like the doc wants.

Hi, I am in the same boat with getting sleeved around the holidays. I will actually be on my Pre-op diet during Thanksgiving. I am the one who make the Turkey for our family. I am alittle nervous about it but determined to get sleeved. I will be interested in what others have to say about being sleeved around the holidays.

You have a great outlook!!!! Just reading your post one can see your determination and excitement. Have a GREAT surgery tomorrow and I will be praying for you. I get sleeved next month.

I would like to thank everyone who wrote about their surgery! I am getting sleeved Nov. 28 and I really enjoyed reading everyone's post. The majority are doing fabulous! I am also sad to hear about the people that are not having an easy time. I am glad you all have reponded to the Poll. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry to hear how you are doing. It sounds just terrible. I will be praying for you. Thanks for your post!!!
