Hello everyone! I hope I'm doing this right;I just joined today. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had the sleeve who is a type-1 diabetic? I'm on an insulin pump and surgeon says after surgery, no more pump...I'm EXTREMELY nervous and excited all at once. Any advice or personal experience with this? Thanks!

Hi

Im Type 1 on a pump as well and I can tell you I'm still on my pump and still taking metformin. I stopped taking victoza. Sure, I'm taking less insulin but you can't get rid of T1 diabetes.

I know it will never go away, that's something I learned LOOONG ago. I was just wondering how others' experience was after the sleeve...

I had surgery on the 27th and I am type 1 female 30 years old. I haven't had any lows but I keep going high. They told me to lower my basal rates by half but it's way too low. I don't have to take insulin for food anymore though so that's good. Hoping I can start getting my blood sugars more under 200 though.
