Hi MickeyMax15, Fjinally got all set up for myu operstion for 9/18/15. Now on full liquids until then. Have a massive headache but working through it. One though: my doctor perscribed me a anti nausea pill to take the night before my surgery. It last for three days. Doctor highly recommened it due to nausea that relates to the anesthesia given durign the time of surgery. Also no more insulin after the operation. YEAH. will gradualy be taken off other meds depending on my AC1 levels. Keep me posted on yur progress. xlawman

Congraulations on your weight loss. I am having my surgery in September. Reading post like yours inspire me.. Keep going!!

Hello Everyone, I am knew at this but will do my best to keep it simple. I am 65 years young. I have been a type 2 diabetic for over 30 years. I had a lapband put in 2005. My biggest weight was 310lbs. I went down to 200 but now back up to 230. I had the lapband removed because I felt I had lost all could with it. Now I am having the sleeve put in on Sept. 18th 2015. As expected I am a little nervous about having the operation. But also excited to move into a new journey in my life. I would like to get down to 180lbs, which is what I should be at being 5 feet 8 inches. The main reason I am doing this is do get off all my medications that I take for my diabetes. Has anyone stoped taking their meds for diabetes? If so, how long was it after the surgery did this take place? Any information about this would be deeply appreciated. Also any tips on what to eat to keep my sugar levels on track. Thanks for your time and inmput. Joe
