Hi, everyone. I am a type-1 diabetic, on an insulin pump, scheduled for a VSG on December 8, 2015. I was hoping to hear from others who have had the surgery and their success stories as well as setbacks, complications, etc. Photos are always amazing inspiration, as well. Thanks, everybody!

So far so good for me. 52 lbs down since July 27, 2015 and 50 more to go

My a1c is in the non diabetic range. I hardly ever use insulin. My family Dr is amazed. I have experienced low's. With the sleeve I can still do sugar to get my blood sugar back up without dumping syndrome. My blood sugar tends to drop when working out. I use Accel gel every half hour. Keeps it stable. ( I'm not promoting any brand. many of them out there.)

No complications,

254 to 130

If you are interested.....At the bottom of this post is my video from the day of surgery to goal.

I have had Type 1 since age 7. I've had a hard time with nausea and severe reflux since surgery aug. 28th. Blood sugars have been better though. As soon as you can incorporate some good carbs because keto acidosis can be a problem when your only eating protein. Good luck!
