Hi I am new on this forum . Still thinking about surgery, I am diabetic was wondering if it is true that it is also cure for diabeties and of course the weight loss. Thanks

Feeling good about myself, n more confident. oh can't forget being able to sit in theater seats!!! Yay!!!! One more, crossing my legs. :))))

Taking 10 units of insulin daily instead of 350 units!!! Day 9.. Down 18# and feeling darn good!

My once dangerously high blood sugar levels are now normal. My diabetes doc told me this saved my life.

Aside from taking 30 units of lantus I'm down to 10. My diabetes is not gone but it is better than it was.
