I’m in my six month penance - I have FIFTY ONE days of waiting left.
I’m doing everything “they” tell me and my A1C went UP.
So, what does this say to me.
First - the regular eating habits of the alleged healthy among us does not work for my DNA - I asked my NUT if I could stay more Protein heavy on my pre-diet and she said that wasn’t balanced (My A1C before all of this was 6.5)
Second - RNY is the right choice. I got my results this morning and I was very blue. But after some thought about it all - I decided the arrow I was looking for is finally pointing to Gastric Bypass. I suppose many of us go through some regrets about even having to get to this point - and somehow I thought this surgery was the evilest of the evils. BUT - a) statistically T2Diabetics do extremely well post RNY - many leaving the hospital with no meds and
the success of reversing the diabetes is the best with RNY.
I had my boohoo - now onward and upward.
If after 4 months of diet and exercise - I had lost more and maybe had a “better” A1C - I might not be confident about surgery. Now I am. I guess I got my answer.
Thanks for listening friends.
