I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in May of this year, today I'm proud to announce I was able to control it. Which means that anything is possible nothing is impossible.

I’m controlling mine too. Still on the Metformin but hope to be able to give it up. Keep up the good work.

Welcome Christian. I am going through the pre-surgical regimen. As of tomorrow I have 2 months left before my surgery will be scheduled. Good luck (you won't need it, it's not too bad). I wish you happiness.

Thank you! And [emoji1366] hello 8 gave it up right away not thinking of the withdrawals and let me tell you I've never done drugs but I've seen addicts get withdrawals and I felt like one the first few days without soda omg I was shaking, sweating and so upset mind you the refrigerator was full of cans of coke but I never touched not one until last week when I opened one and when I was about to put it in my mouth I poured it down the sink because I don't want all this hard work I've done to be meaningless.

Wow, Christian! You have already accomplished so much! Hooray! I too decided to give up soda pre-op. I am occasionally tempted to try it again and I am always sorry. Like sugar, for me, some ALWAYS leads to MORE. I am learning, slowly but surely. All best wishes to you as you continue to move toward improved health! May your happiness know no bounds!

Welcome! Best of luck to you on your journey. You are taking the right steps by drinking more water and taking better care of yourself. These boards are great for finding support. People on here care. Wishing you much success!

Hello everyone my name is Christian I'm 38 years old and I reside in Manhattan, New York. I've been overweight all my life but on may 16th of 2018 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with no complications, hypertension and high cholesterol, so that day I made a decision to change my life and start loving myself... I quit drinking soda and drinking any type os sugary drinks, instead I drink water.. In fact water is all I drink now and I stopped eating Chinese takeout and eating more homemade healthy meals. I've chosen to VSG surgery because out of all the other types of Bariatric surgeries vsg is the best in my opinion. I haven't started the process yet which I was told will take 6 months but I'm already covered by my insurance so that's a good thing.. On September 11th I have a follow up with my pcp on that day i plan on starting the process for vsg surgery, I wish all of you the best in your journey if anyone likes they can follow me on instagram@vsg_redemption [emoji4]

Just hearing the can pop makes me crave soda and you poured the whole thing down the sink-you are my hero!
My surgery is in November so I am not going crazy but still "living it up" while I can.

Hi Christian! I am a newbie as well! Congrats on the big changes that you have already made-soda was the hardest thing for me to give up (though I confess, I still have a little now and then). Good luck with everything

For me the process from initial consultation to surgery was around 9 months. This straddled two deductible insurance years. There were cost all along the way beginning shortly after the initial consultation. But the majority of cost was at the time of surgery. So this may influence your start date.

Hello [emoji1366] Thank you very much, I really appreciate it same for you #wegotthis [emoji4]
