I'm a type 2 diabetic, I have high blood pressure and high cope sterol. My bmi is 35. I currently weigh 180. I started the process to have surgery. I was told that most diabetic get off their meds. Is there anyone else who had bypass with the same situation.

What were your bmi

I need to loose 180 - to get to 180...

oy!

Diabetic - type 2

and HBP.

I am a type 2 diabetic with high BP & cholesterol as well. 2 days after surgery my doc told me my blood sugar was within normal levels. I continued to take my meds for about 1-2 weeks after surgery but have been off since. It was the sole reason I did the surgery and it was worth every second!

sole reason I’m doing it too -

thanks for the encouragement...

I was an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic for 7 years. On an insulin pump for the last 2 years. Since my surgery I've had to take insulin maybe a hand full of times. My a1c last week at my 3 months post op appt was 5.2.

My sugars have been slowly dropping post-opt, but it hasn't been an overnight cure as i had hoped.

I think the fat i'm burning is putting sugar in my blood cause it isn't in the food i'm eating. By not eating at all i can raise it which, to me, proves it coming from fat being burned.

Pre-opt i ran 280+ on sugars as a norm and once as high as 545! Very dangerous and out of control!

Surgury 12/27/12

Now in the afternoon i'm 120-135 and morning 140's.

It's still dropping 15-20 points or so a week so in a few weeks i hope to be basically normal.

I am on no meds for it and wasn't pre-opt either.
