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!

Type 1 or Type 2?

I'm Type 1. Still on insulin.

Will always be on insulin.

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]

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
