Absolutely!!! I only with I would have done it 10 years ago before I lost both of my feet to diabetes. I had surgery 11/2 since then I’ve lost 80 lbs off diabetic and BP meds all together this was absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made.
My surgeon told me that my A1c had to be below 8 to have the surgery, when I first started seeing the dietician it was 12.4 so I changed everything about my diet in the 3 months prior to surgery I brought A1c down from 12.4 to 6.6. So the diet is the most important thing if you are doin what are supposed to be doing the A1c will not be a problem.
my heavy weight was 426, surgery weight was 405 I’m now about 4.5 months out from surgery and now weight 346. I feel like I’m losing slower than I should some feedback would be helpful
