I am still on insulin but a lot less to get the same numbers. Still need some adjusting. Still holding out hope that the diabetes will improve. Not the miracle I was hoping for but it is better and I think it will get better.

I was on 2 oral Meds and insulin before surgery. I came home with 1 oral pill. Sugars run 130- 150 but doctor does not seem as concerned with it he stated that I was still healing and weight loss will improve that in time. I am praying he is right I had worked very hard to get my A1C down to 7.0 before the surgery.

I felt it was just me, everyone kept saying "surgery will get rid of it instantly" I guess time will tell! Also I was reading if you take CINNAMON it helps to bring down the sugar levels, maybe I'll try it.

before surgery, i was on 3 Metformin a day, 84 units of Lantus at night and Novolog insulin for coverage during the day. Since surgery (3 weeks ago), i am only on Lantus 20 units at bedtime. I hope i will eventually be off of it too!

I'm 2 weeks from surgery and I am still needing some [modest amount and decreasing] insulin. Each result is unique/different I've been told. Good luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
