I'm so excited. Obviously a big goal was to get to a healthy BMI, but a BIG BIG BIG reason I went the surgical route was for the chance to reverse my type II diabetes with the resulting changes in gut metabolism, etc. My surgery was exactly a week ago today and I already had to eliminate one of my meds and the other one I've cut back to about half dose. My fasting glucose levels and after meals (liquid "meals" lol) have been perfect for 5 days now. I'm beyond happy! I need to call my doctor this afternoon to let him know and get his official opinion.

In other news, I'm also officially down 5 lbs since surgery last week and 19 lbs since 2 weeks pre-op.

probably should have put this in the post-op forum. I didn't realize I was still in the pre-op Q&A forum when I posted. Sorry!

This is the reason why I want the sleeve surgery...to eliminate my meds and reverse my Type II Diabetes. I can't wait to get my surgery date!
