Really anxious to get started with my journey, now that I have heard from a few "pumpers". Seems like

some Sleevers with Diabetes have huge success, while others have marginal results as far as reducing

or eliminating their Diabetes meds. I am newly hopeful that I may be able to stop taking Insulin altogether...

Special thanks to Dawn for sharing her story with me 1 week post-op....Congratulations on your success

so far!!!! Shelley

Ditto!

A big reason that I am having the surgery is for the diabetes and hypertension control. Slowly I have been adding meds for both and I can see the complications in 10 years. I am looking forward to some improvement if not cure. I wish you good luck with your progress.

I have had Type II for the best part of 20 years (probably 10 undisgnosed and certainly 10 since diagnosis) with a variety of complications and was sleeved last Tuesday. By Thursday my BG levels were at non-diabetic levels and I was discharged on Sunday (yesterday) off my diabetes meds. My fasting BG this morning was 83. To me that is little short of a miracle!

Contests Janet! That's awesome!!!

Hi, Little bits! Thanks for the congrats! I have had various problems since the operation, including intramuscular bleeding (huge haematomas around two of my incision sites) and weighing one kilo more at my 9-day follow-up appointment than I had done two weeks earlier pre-op - after four days of no food while on the IV, six days of clear liquids and 75% of my stomach being removed! So the diabetes going into immediate remission was a double joy. Fasting BG figures the last few mornings have been 80, 74 and 76 - unimaginably great!

I'm sorry to hear about all of the problems that you have had since surgery!!! Thankfully, things seem to be moving in the right direction!!!
