Lap Roux 9/27

Had my surgery Friday morning at St. Vincent in Carmel. Went home Sunday and feel pretty good. Have not had any pain meds since Saturday am. Eating and drinking ok and walking. Only took me 15 months to get insurance approval for the surgery. They took me off all my meds including the two different insulins I was on on Sunday, blood sugar has been in the 90's. Looking forward to my new life.

      26lbs in a week or 26 lbs since starting your preop diet? If it is 26lbs in a week, did they take out parts of you while they were in there doing surgery?

    I was on two insulins, victoza, and metformin. They took me off all of it two days after surgery and blood sugars are normal. I still have to check twice a day. Never been over 120 since.

    Oh, yeah, forgot about my victoza. So basically we were on the exact same thing. Glad it worked for you.

    It may still work for you. They told me I could be on metformin for a while but ended up not having to.

    I hope so. The diabetes was the only reason I did this. I am overweight of course, but that never bothered me. The thought of losing my feet or my eyes does.

    That's exactly why I had it done. To stop the diabetes. Want to see my kids grow up.

    Out of curiosity, what kind of diet has your doctor had you on post op?

    I have to do full liquids for the first 4 weeks. Then pureed after that.
