One month out from bypass -- amazing results!

[Madeleine Renee 77]

Thank you John.

I am 63, 70lbs overweight and on an insulin pump. Quite healthy in spite of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high glucose. Meds keep bp in check and cholesterol as well.

My main reason for the surgery is try to cure my diabetes and feel better with 70 lbs less.

I will cancel my September at the beach and make it for October only that way I will be at 6 weeks when I leave. At least, we are pulling a trailer and all my food and stuff can be prepared and kept cool all the way, maybe we can add a day so it is shorter in the truck every day.

I will let you know how my surgery goes on August 18.

Sounds like a plan, you will enjoy the beach much better! When I was finally diagnosed with diabetes (2) I had likely had it for a decade without knowing it. I already had significant neuropathy in my feet, and quickly blew through the typical drugs and was on lots of insulin and four other meds, some debilitating. Now, only a small bit of insulin each morning, and I am maintaining really good blood glucose readings. Whew!
