Worried about my blood sugar delaying surgery :(
It really is safer that way and you know that when your sugars are high you heal much slower..... I don't normally have high blood sugar and mine was very high after surgery. I have never had insulin and I had had 3 doses in the hospital till my body had a chill and quit producing too much sugar. How high would your numbers be if you START with high numbers..... I know it's hard, be patient.

I'm a school teacher and wondering how long I should plan on taking off work?

Eating FOOD at last - but not very much!
I'm a teacher also. I was sleeved on June 7th. I cannot imagine going back to school after only 2 weeks. That would have been soooooo hard. I'm exhausted after walking very slowly for 30 minutes. I cannot imagine doing inclusion and running around like that. Have a wonderful summer.

Oh my! I'm so sorry to hear this. Talk to your doc again. Ask if they have seen this before and what is going on. Ask for a wound specialist if you need to go that route. Good luck!

Funny how all docs are different. My doc wanted me to really concentrate on getting in the protein right from the get go. He was so adamant that he actually made me concentrate in my drug induced haze to repeat that my goal was 60 protein/ 60 liquid.
