I am considering, for the fourth time, getting the surgery. I would like to hear from those diabetics who no longer have to take insulin whether you are happy or regret your decision.

My A1C dropped into the normal zone recently. My blood sugar is great. I wasn't a full blown diabetic yet...but I was throwing high pre-diabetic numbers and they were inching up every year. It was inevitable and was one of the main reasons I pushed ahead with WLS.

Am really glad to have put that trend into remission. I have several family members with diabetes and I just didn't want to go there.
