NewBegin56

I'm 56 and had my surgery 12/27/12. Like you, my main reason for the surgery was (hopefully) getting rid of diabetes, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. My diabetes has been bad enough that I've worn an insulin pump for the last 4 years (taking close to 150 units of insulin a day). Since my surgery, I have not had to wear my insulin pump (I occasionally have to inject 1-2 units of insulin, but not everyday) and I'm taking half the amount of pills for HBP. Don't lose sight of the prize - good health. Any loose skin will be well worth it!!

My Dr allows regular coffee once you're out of the hospital as long as you are staying hydrated. That's the main concern with caffeine.

Congrats!!!!!

Mine was submitted to insurance on Thursday and I got the approval yesterday. Surgery set for 12/27. Can't wait!

instead of the noodles she uses, you can use the Shirataki noodles
