I have been able to discontinue my pills with the presurgery diet-mine was very low carb liquid. They did give me one insulin shot while in the hospital due to IV fluids. My sugar levels are nearly always 90-100 and before I would spike 250 during the day. I am waiting until 3 months before I see my PCP for them to do the A1C.

I had surgery December. I cut my insulin use in half. I am superobese and am super insulin resistant. As I lose more fat, I'm sure my insulin use will steadily decrease. Not matter what, watch your blood sugars closely and get help from your healthcare provider in regulation insulin and other diabetes medications.

I must say that before my sleeve surgery I was taking 2 glimiperide pills daily...they gave me insulin shots during my hospital stay & 3 days out from surgery I have been pill FREE! I still check my blood sugar now & then...especially after potatoes or Pasta, but so far so good...it's been around 80 before eating & 120 afterwards! :) I am SO proud to have my sleeve. Not only has it helped me to be healthy & lose weight but it's helped me get rid of my diabetes...hopefully FOR GOOD!

My surgeon told us that type 2 would be either cured or greatly improved. I was in the early stages of type 2 with fasting sugars in the low 100s, now fasting sugars are back in the 80s where they should be.

I was super insulin resistant prior to surgery, on metformin2000mg, gliberide4mg, and 70+ units of insulin. Within 3 months I was able to quit taking all meds and in Oct. when I had labs done A1C was 5.5. This is a level that they don't consider you diabetic anymore. From what I've seen it either get to normal or is greatly reduced.

Thank you for this post. I had my sleeve done 1.11.11. I am very insulin resistant, taking at least 200 units of humalog a day on a pum and still uncontroled. My bs was 376 the morning of my surgery. It went down while in the hospital, and the day I left it was 135. Now home it is 190-250. It frustrates me, since I am still on liquid only. But hearing that it took a couple months, relieves me. And I know it takes time, I am just impatient! Lol.

I was impatient too. It will happen just give it time. Just remember this didn't happen overnight and it will not heal it's self overnight. But it will happen. Good luck with your journey.

The curious thing is that it often does reverse "overnight" or very soon postop, even before significant weight loss occurs.. they don't know why.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
