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!

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
