I did this for my diabetes because nothing else worked. I did everything possible including being raw vegan for a year. My blood sugar never changed at all! Surgery was my last resort. The Only reason I did this was diabetes, the weight loss is just an added bonus for me! I got surgery in Mexico 7 weeks ago. I was under the impression (due to all my research) that I'd leave the hospital with my diabetes in remission. Well, that was 7 weeks ago, my blood sugar hasn't changed even a little bit! I've lost 33 lbs. but no results with my main goal, my blood sugar.

I'm devastated! I'm frustrated! I'm extremely discouraged.

My dr communicates to his patients through Facebook. A couple times he has mentioned to me about my "sleeve". I'm afraid he may have done the sleeve instead of the bypass. That would be a Huge mistake! To me that would be like amputating the wrong leg or something! The sleeve doesn't cure diabetes like the bypass is suppose to.

I have an X-ray that they took after my surgery in Mexico. I need to find a local dr who would be willing to look at it and tell me if it's a sleeve or bypass.

Is there anyone else who had Bypass and had no results with their diabetes?

I'm really struggling with this emotionally! Honestly I'm a complete mess!

Talk with your Doctor. I have an endocrinologist who helps me manage that. my A1C is at 6.2. My endocrinologist feels it's going to get better. Before surgery it was 6.3 so yes it is moving in the right direction. Keep it up. Eat protein, then veggies. Leave breads, pastas and sugars alone.

Yep, doing my best.
I have an appointment with my dr next week.
