Approved and scheduled for February 8, 2018



Recommended Posts

I am ready to get this done. I have been approved by insurance and I am scheduled for gastric bypass on February 8th. It's been a long journey and I am very excited. Here's to the end of the old me, and the beginning of the new me. The news arrived today!

Since, I am a diabetic I had to start my modified diet back at the end of October to lower my A1C. As of Dec. 27, 2017 I got my A1C to 7.8%, enough to be safe for surgery. In an effort to make things better, my endocrinologist put me on Victoza. Two weeks before surgery, I have to do an Optifast pre-op diet.

I'm Diabetic as well, added glipizide and got my A1C to 7.2. I've tried Nutritional Weight Control, Adkins, Profast, and several attempts on my own. Adkins was the best, lost 80lbs but I put the weight on again. This is the last thing I'm doing, I will be successful.

Diabetes sucks. I have to take Lantus insulin, Meformin, and Victoza. I was on Glipizide but there was concern that Glipizide might actually be making hungry. Victoza sucks but it seems to work. Numbers improved even more. :-)

My surgeon and endocrinologist are 100% positive that the diabetes will go into remission, they're not sold that it will be a cure. They're 100% on hypertension going away. I also have sleep apnea but only time will tell with that. I have a friend that is 150 pounds soaking wet and he has sleep apnea. If that doesn't go away, I'm fine with it. I'll use the CPAP because I sleep so well.

My brother is getting married in August. I'm still single so I'm looking forward to being all GQ in my tuxedo and maybe scoring with a bride's maid. :D

Do you work in technology? Your username makes me think of Red Hat Linux. If you work with Linux, come on over to the dark side - OpenBSD :72_imp:

      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.
