Okay y'all. ..this is my first and finest NSV. I had my surgery with Dr. Illan on August 12th in Tijuana. I went to my PCP today and he took me completely off my diabetes medicine. I have been type 2 diabetic for 9 yrs. I have never been able to control it a good day for me was 250. The dr. Had told me my kidneys were going to fail if I didn't do something. I already had the numbness on my feet and my fingers. This surgery was my last chance. This surgery. has literally saved my life. Thank you Susan and Omar most of all thank you Dr. Illan.

Awesome Congrats on your new life!

Fantastic!

Stuff like this makes my day. I am so happy for you!

That is such wonderful news, I am so happy for you!!

Don't forget to give yourself some credit, too! It takes work

That is so awesome to be off those meds! I cant imagine how freeing that must be!

I have been in full remission since March of '12. It is an awesome feeling (although I will never give up 2x week random tests and A1C tests every 4 months).

My A1C is in the normal range since the surgery and I love it. I do know that I will have to always be careful of the sugar due to the possibility of the diabetes coming back....But I can live with this....

I'm sure you are over the moon! What a healthy med free life you can look forward to.

Thank you everyone and yes I have walked around all day with this silly grin on my face. It is definitely an awesome feeling. I know I will always have to watch it and yes I will continue to test also doing my A1C check. It is a small price to pay though. Peace and Blessings everyone.
