How long after surgery did you come off your diabetic medicine? If you are still on it how long post op are you?

I am hoping to be sleeved on August 5th just waiting to be approved.

I was off all diabetic meds a week before surgery due to liquid diet. After surgery they would check my sugar frequently and I was always had good numbers.

I'm about 5 1/2 months out and have been off insulin and all meds since 2 weeks prior to surgery. Had an a1c done 2 weeks ago and it was 6.0. And my glucose levels are still declining slowly. My PCP says for all intents and purposes I'm not diabetic any more. But warns that it will come back if I start eating crazy again.

Stopped all my pills at my one week post op visit. My sugars are between 90 and 115 consistently.

I also stopped all on diabetic pills before surgery....and when I had my A1 C checked before surgery it was 10.9 it is now 4.8 and has been in those same ranges since surgery so I am diabetes free....wooooo hooo!!!!

Wishing you a life free of diabetes as well.....

Came home off of 3 meds - Levemir, Metformin and Victoza. Now, I am using a sliding scale for short acting insulin....so far the most I've taken in one day will be today and about 17 units...this is much better than pre-sleeve. I am 17 days post op. I am happy with my progress regarding meds as my main goal for surgery was to get the diabetes in remission. I think I will as I get more weight off.

We were told once you are diabetic you will always be a diabetic. That diagnosis is what made me go for the sleeve. My husband is a 30 year Diabetic Type 2. We both came off Metformin at surgery. He is on a small dose of insulin a day. Thank God in 8 months no more calling rescue to revive him in the middle of the night. No more eating huge amounts of fruit to keep his blood sugar up during the night. Please stay off the carbs and sugar, because in 8 months he has lost 100 lbs and is fabulous! I wish everyone good luck and success with weight loss, to become healthier and combat the effects of diabetes on our bodies.

My surgeon has me staying on the pills until 6 weeks post op because he says it will help in the stomach healing process. I had bloodwork done at 4 weeks post op and levels were within normal range

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
