I am type II and was taken off of my diabetes meds during the pre-op diet phase. I am taking nothing now (almost 1 month out of surgery) and my A1C was 5.8 when I went to see the doctor this week. I no longer require meds.

The doctor also was able to cut my blood pressure meds in half prior to surgery.

These are HUGE blessings!!!!

I am new to this. Just had sleeve on Dec. 4th. Still nauseous and gag a lot when drinking the fluids.

Wondering if anyone had this right after surgery and how long it lasts. I still can't get comfortable either

I dont want to be the bearer of bad news...but it depends on how bad of a diabetic you are. I am type 2 and I am insulin dependent. The first 2 weeks after surgery when I was on a liquid diet.....i took NO insulin. When I started adding food back into my diet.....my blood sugars started creeping higher and higher. So it was back to the insulin. Im not using near as much....but I am still using. Good luck in your journey!!!

I was diagnosed with Diabetes in February of this year. When I saw my doctor in August, my A1C had crept up to where I needed to start Metformin. I stopped it just before my sleeve surgery on 9/23. I saw my Endocrinologist again this morning and he had great news. My A1C had gone from 7.1 to 6.0. I am no longer Diabetic! He also told me that my cholesterol has dropped 90 points and my thyroid medicine was reduced due to my weight loss as well! My BP was lower than usual, so that may be the next pill to go. I am hoping to be off of cholesterol and BP medicine in February, I am already off of Diabetes meds and have lowered my thyroid meds. What a great day today!!

I too am a type 2 diabetic. Last A!C was 7.5. Endo dr told me not to take insulin unless my sugar was over 160. I haven't taken any since surgery on Nov 25, 2014.

      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.
