Can you tell me how long it was before you were no longer diabetic (or taking meds if you were)?
Hi @@Tonia43! Prior to my surgery I was taking pills and giving myself injections daily for diabetes, and sleeping with a CPAP machine. In less than 3 weeks, I was done with all of them! By then I had lost less than 20 pounds overall, so that just goes to show how much our diseases are related to what we put in our mouths. And at my last appointment my A1C had dropped from 13.3 to 5.7 and the endocrinologist declared my diabetes completely under control. For the record, though, it's not recommended to go off diabetes meds without a doctor's blessing, or to stop using the CPAP without a follow-up sleep test. Good luck with your decision, I'm thrilled with mine!!!

WOW,
You really look amazing and sound really happy! I have scheduled my surgery appointment 2x's and have cancelled for some reason. You have actually motivated me to maybe speak to the doctor again! The thought of getting of my diabetes and blood pressure pills is a great thought! Can you tell me how long it was before you were no longer diabetic (or taking meds if you were)? Keep of the great work and your truly a motivation......
