Will My Diabetes Be Reversed?

Hello all

Hope you are all well.

Will my Diabetes be reversed when I have my op?

My Dr said it could well do and might get me off the Insulin at least :)

Has anyone had any experience of this they would like to share?

was on 3 meds for my diabetes. Insulin, Victoza and Metformin x2 a day.

I took no meds after I left the hospital for my diabetes. Sugars running around 110 fasting. Less than 60 days out of surgery my diabetic A1C was down to 5.7%. It was 6.7% before surgery with the 3 meds. Today 5 1/2 months out still at 5.7%

A bonus: my high blood pressure is back into the normal ranges. I was on 2 meds before surgery. No meds since surgery for that one either.

:) Good luck and God bless you!

I'd do the happy dance too! Congrats!

My coworker has been of insulin since the day before her surgery her #'s are great!

After 2 weeks post op, I went to my md, blood pressure was normal (I didn't take any pills for two weeks after surgery) so that made me happy, he said stop blood pressure mess, then had blood work results 3 days later he called me and said sugar and chesterol levels are perfect! No mess right now for anything! This was amazing to me! So happy...good luck
