I am 4 weeks post op and for the last week and a half my sugar levels have been 119 or lower!!! Doc says that I can stop taking insulin, but I still have to check and to see if it gets up to 141 to inject. So far all is good and I am beyond thrilled! To all those Neigh Sayers that told me this surgery wouldn't be good for me.....UP YOURS!!!

Wonderful News for you!!!

WONDERFUL! See, the investment in yourself...it's already paying off! I would absolutely hate to give myself insulin shots every day. I have to give my dog insulin , that's bad enough!

Type 1 or Type 2?

I'm Type 1. Still on insulin.

Will always be on insulin.

I'm one week out and have not needed any insulin either!!!! Blood sugars no higher than 115!!

Great job ditching the insulin. I'm 3 1/2 months out. Saw endocrinologist today...my a1c is down less than a point. Doctor is concerned my pancreas isn't doing it's job. Giving it more time to see if something kicks.

I can honestly say that I was disappointed. One of the most important reasons I had this surgery was to ditch insulin - and he's afraid to halt my weight loss efforts with a bigger dose of insulin

I know it's hard, but maybe it just needs more time.. [Hugs]

May of 2016 I went from several shots a day as well as Metphorman and Invokana to wearing an insulin pump (my ball and chain as I call it) along with the Metphorman and Invokana on a daily basis, which is what made me decide to start checking into Bariatric surgery. After three months of thinking, praying, and researching each surgery I decided to have the gastric sleeve and now this month I attend my last class and then it will be up to the insurance company to decide my fate on the surgery. I'm praying for weight loss results that lasts a lifetime and to be totally set free from the need of insulin and all diabetic medication.
