Any type I diabetics out there?



Recommended Posts

I am a T1 and have been for 46 years. I am on an insulin pump and use the continuous glucose monitor system.I am contemplating having the sleeve done I said I wanted to meet with 3 surgeons then decide which one. I am very pre op considering I don't have a surgeon or date. I anticipate first of next year. I will have to do counseling prior. My concern is my blood sugar dropping too low. I am curious about post op people and what does their diet consist of once they are able to eat. I will be on here often so I can't wait to see the replies and continue to learn. Have a great night.

I'm not a T1 I am a T2 but I am insulin dependent. Our plan is to lower my insulin in-take the night before I start my 2 week liquid diet. Once the surgery is done we will go from there.

I will do that. Just to let you know I probably won't be scheduled for surgery until sometime at the end of the year.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
