Awesome. Thanks hoping for the best.

I'm scheduled for surgery on 2/29. Just curious you stated in your post that you are eating solid foods? Are you seeing a nutritionist? Mine won't have me eating solid food for awhile. Just curious?

I will definitely keep you updated. hoping for great results

Yea my nutrionist said she's seen people change after surgery but I'm not holding my breath.

Hey guys my surgery date is scheduled for 2/29. I'm so nervous and excited. Having two teen boys I am looking for tips on savings my first few weeks after surgery when I am on protein. What's the best shakes to get the most protein. Any recipes for shakes that don't taste horrible and had lots of protein? Thanks

One thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post. The psychologist who did my eval said that there is a great success rate for diabetics and the sleeve. The sleeve is just newer and there is not as much data. Just FYI.

Yea I know that there is a chance it could cure my diabetes my primary doctor really tried to get me to do it. But honestly I guess I read to many horror stories online and it scared me. I called back and actually changed my procedure. It was a hard decision to make with a lot of praying involved. I know now that my diabetes may not go away completely but I'm hoping to be no longer insulin dependent. The side effects of gastric bypass scared me. The dumping syndrome alone was enough. Good luck with your decision.

I was in a pretty similar situation. My diabtes is pretty bad. My BMI is not that high but the diabetes got me approved. My doctor said the same thing about diabetes reversing. I had a hard decision to make but after A LOT of research I decided to go with the sleeve. I'm really scared of the side effects of gbs. I did find out that there is a huge chance of diabetes getting better with the sleeve. I think overall its a personal choice. My last visit my doctor said he's confident my diabetes will improve. My surgery is 2/29. Check in for updates. Praying for good results. Do your research and talk to another doctor.

Thanks for all of the good information. I'm lactose intolerant now but my nutrionist says that may change. I wondered about the cooking for my boys (14 &16). Im going to cook this weekend. It will keep me busy. Im excited but my nerves are starting to get to me.

Hey like you the waiting was driving me crazy so I called my insurance company and they were able to tell me over the phone I was approved. Good luck
