My gastric sleeve was do to happen on March 3, 2015, but a week before i had so blood test done and my A1C was a 9. The doctor refuses to operate with that number she said if the number goes below an 8 she will then schedule me again. I am so upset i have been trying for the last week on a low carb diet but i still cant get a good sugar numbers even thou i cut out Pasta, rice, bread , potatos , fried foods.All i have been having is chicken and beef with vegtables for the last week and it will not lower. I am fustrated, has any one has had this kind of problem ?

I wish I had found this thread last week. I have finished all my required visits before surgery in the last visit with the anethesiologist where they hav discovered I have type 2 diabetes. My surgery is now on hold as well

I am not understanding why surgery is on hold bc of type 2 unless your numbers are really high. Thats the very reason why i was sent to have this done. I was insulin resistance an type 2..i hope things get rolling for you soon..

The explanation they gave me was that when your sugar levels are high, healing is more difficult after surgery... I've waited a long time for this so I guess I can wait a couple more months. I tested my sugars before Breakfast this am and they were 8.2...down from 13.1 less than 2 weeks ago. So I'm very happy with how the meds are helping things!!
