I lost 90 lbs. It was well worth it. I have type II Diabetes, and my average sugars post meals are 110. The only food I couldn't eat for about 5 years or so was rice. One forkful totally filled me up. Now I can eat about a 1/4-1/3 cup, but no more. My consult is May 7th.

Hello all, I'm very glad to be a part of this group. I'm 8 years post op. I was a size 22 & am now a size 8-10 & maintaining that weight. I lost about 80 lbs. I can now eat a normal sized meal, but my eating habits have totally changed. I'm a vegetarian, & I do eat fish occasionally. I use regular sugar now, but used only Splenda for 7 yrs post op. drink diet soda. I eat things like beans, lentils, quinoa, a have discovered a WORLD of vegetables. All labs are normal. I'm very happy. I might add, I still can't eat a whole veggie sub from Subway in one sitting. It's a waste of money to take me to a buffet. Lol! While I'm still diabetic, my sugars are normal. I do yoga instead of walking due to an injured back. That's a ton about me now!! Gonna have a consult with plastic surgeon next week or so for reconstructive surgery!! Hope to hear from you all.

I'm from Philly originally. Now I live in South Jersey. My surgery was done @ Barix in Langhorne, PA on May 5th, 2005. Congratulations. I'm having a consult with the reconstructive plastic surgery in a couple of weeks. So glad that you fought & won. Prayers for a fantastic outcome for you.
