:001_unsure:Hey folks,
I was recently "interviewed" by a psych for pain management- I shared with him that I had lost some weight but still have about 80 lbs to go and that was struggling with all my complications- diabetic, hbp, closterol meds, arthrits meds, etc.... and he asked about bypass- had I considered that...I said no that I knew that I would end up in a nursing home here in East ky and that I did not think that they could or were prepared to keep someone with a bypass-6 meals a day, shakes, etc.. he told me about the sleve- hadn't heard of this..also told me that WLS virtually "eliminates" diabeties- (4 shots a day)...now I am seriously considering this. I weigh 234 down from 284- but it has taken 4 years and everytime I go on steriods I end up in the hospital and some wieght gain.... I am just so tired of shots, and meds.... I would love to hear from anyone who has had success in eliminating severe diabeties via WLS...I am going for a consult
ation next week, would love to have some success stores to encourage me...I am hesitant, but if I want to live beyond 10 more years I am thinking that I need to do something drastic...doing what I have been doing is not getting any results and my diabeties is "brickle" and I still lots on my bucket list! Living seems like the better option!
