Off My Diabetes Meds After Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I saw my endocrinologist today and I am now off all of my diabetes meds after being sleeved on 9/1. Before surgery I was on 4 meds: Metformin, Glimipiride, Victoza, and Lantus SoloStar. I am pretty happy with this news.

I still need to check my blood sugars on a daily basis, especially as I move through the next few dietary stages. Hopefully I will be able to stay off of these meds.

Congrats!! I came off all my blood sugar meds (Victoza and Glipizide) day of surgery and have been off since. I recently came off my cholesterol meds! As the weight comes off our health really does improve. :)

I had surgery on 12/7 and prior, took Janumet 2x a day and Victoza. In the hospital post surgery my insulin went over 150 a few times and they gave me one unit of insulin each time. I can home yesterday and was instructed by my dr to start taking Janumet once a day and Victoza again. But I tested my sugar first thing this AM and it was only 112 after fasting and 117 2 hours after eating. I am not going to take any of my meds because I am afraid my blood sugar will drop too low. I am pretty psyched. I was only diagnosed with T2 about a year ago and I really think the pre-op diet and surgery have reversed my T2D already.

That's great!! I have been type II for 16 years, and I am afraid mine is here to stay, but with living a low carb life style I need very little medication.

      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.
