    Girlfriday70 reacted to SummerTimeGirl in Type 2 Diabetes   
    I'll be having my surgery on May 19th. I too found out during all the pre testing that I was now in fact Type 2 as well. I had been on the borderline for years until now. Mine came back at 6.7 this time around. Anyway, the nurses and my family doc and surgeon saw the results but didn't address it at all. Now I don't know if that's due to the fact that I'm already on Metformin for Insulin Resistance or maybe because surgery is not far away or maybe a combo of the two. Either way I was never put on any additional medication. They are probably gonna wait and see what happens within the first few weeks, I assume, before making a decision. I'm sure this new info won't prevent you from getting the surgery. If anything it's even more of a reason to get it.

    Hi everyone , I'm about to change my life for the better. After years of weight-loss struggles due to hysterectomy and hormones I finally got up the nerve to walk into a weight-loss clinic and forever change my life.
    Scary as it seemed the team at the center were and are beyond helpful and kind. Not only that but my Dr. Had bypass surgery himself so he knows all the struggles we will face.
    My greatest shock is I've suffered for 24 years with GERD and the Dr said you have a hienal hernia let's knock that out and get you a gastric sleeve and put this behind you. So here I am headed for scope and ultrasound next week then to the next step.
    Today I weight 236 at 5'4 yet I'm beautiful so I can not wait to find that hot mama just dying to be set free. #happywifehappylife

    Being able to help my husband build our new fence. I wouldn’t have been able to help much a year ago. Not sure if this is really a good thing 🙄😂

    I also love being able to fold into smaller spaces.

    Today I had an unexpected and surprisingly satisfying NSV. I noticed that my belly button shrank. It's about 50% shallower than it used to be! Who knew I would be so pleased about less depth to my belly button? 😆

    Girlfriday70 reacted to billho in A few milestones this week   
    I thought I'd log in with a few updates today. I started this process back on July 31st with a high weight of 284. I lost 34 lbs before surgery on Sept. 21st and weighed in at 233.2 this morning. The two big milestones are that I passed 50 lbs lost and I am now a BMI of 34, which means I'm only "obese" instead of "morbidly obese". I have a long way to go to my 180 target, but I am happy about the progress so far.
