Hi. I'm 5 days post op. and expected sugars to stay under 150's. I'm staying a little over that and was wondering from other type2's if that is maybe from meds or the surgery. It if I am an unlucky one who didn't get the great numbers post op. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not diabetic but I was told not to have more than 5 grams of sugar per serving.

I’m a dawn riser -- with seriously high numbers when I fast - I’d imagine I’ll be right there with you too...

did they keep you on anything?

No. I only got a few shots of insulin in hospital. No meds or anything. I am a dawn riser too. High AM numbers was my usual. But with everything being different I am trying to wrap my head around what to expect with my BS levels. Probably too soon to tell.

I will be very interested in seeing how you go with this. 80% of the reason I am having this surgery is due to the diabetes. I am so insulin resistant and they just keep pumping me fuller and fuller with it and it causes weight gain and inflamation in every part of my body. Somedays I can't life my hands above my heard to blow dry my hair,

Wising you the very best and hoping so much this is the answer to oru diabetes problems. or that at least the need for insulin is lessened.

So your on nothing and they are just waiting and seeing?

Pretty much. Is a wait and see approach unusual?

My BS was running 250 and up before surgery and after surgery I wake up to 105.

Almost off all my meds.

That is great Virgie. I hope to find out I will be like that too soon. I know 150-175 are way better than what I had but still hoping for better numbers. This was main component if my decision for RNY instead if sleeve.

I'm pre surgery and still debating sleeve v rny. Thank you both for sharing.

My high blood sugar was cured from rny.

It should get much better. I am type 1 and while I'll always be on insulin....it has definitely helped my blood sugar stay in control. That never happened prior to surgery!

this is the #1 reason I will be most likely rny - 89% remission rate - we will always “be” diabetic - but we can certainly put it in remission...which is my prayer.
