I would like to know about your experience after surgery with diabetes? No taking insulin just at the border but numbers are going up, reason for doing surgery? Thanks

Diabetes was one of my biggest reasons for having the surgery. I was on oral meds only (metformin) for several years. The last year or so my A1C was continually creeping up and my doctor was leaning towards adding other medications. I think it was close to 8 with my pre-op bloodwork. I was released the day after surgery and never took another metformin. My a1c was 5.4 and my fasting glucose was 90 last week at my follow up.

I know I will have to be diligent about food choices and continuing to exercise but I am still amazed how quickly the insulin resistance resolved itself. Might not happen for everyone but I hope it helps at the very least!

I have been completely off all diabetic medicines since my surgery and have cut my blood pressure meds in half. I will eventually stop those too. As I exercise and continue to get healthier I fell better each day. Not always easy, but worth it.
