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! 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!

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]

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
