Hello. My surgery date was June 22nd.I had my procedure at Medial City in Dallas and Dr. Fox was my surgeon. Things have been going good so far but it has definitely been a leaning experience. As Dr Fox had told me that this isn't a cure its a tool to help you. He is absolutely right! A little over one month post op and I am off all my diabetes meds. Feeling great and decided to rejoin this forum now that I am actually relating to what everyone is posting

So glad things are going well for you so far! Sounds like you have your head in the right place too. As long as you follow the plan, put Protein first, get your Water in, and gradually ramp up your activity level, you will do great!

I find that hanging out on these forums helps keep me focused and accountable. Every time I've stopped spending as much time here, I've noticed that I tend to start straying a little with my food and exercise. Or maybe it's that straying a little with food and exercise makes me ashamed and I take time off from the forums? Either way, getting and giving support and information on these forums really helps me stay on track with everything else!
