So got a call they are postponing my surgery because of my a1c being at 11.5 people suck

So sorry to hear this!! ☹️ did they tell you when they would check it again or how long they’re postponing?

Rechecking a1c oct 7 pushed surgery dec 15th

Why would that stop a surgery

I’m so sorry for your postponement! It may be like my ulcers and hiatal hernia, the docs just want the condition stabilized before they shock your body further with surgery. Luckily you are heading in the right direction with surgery:)

Im sorry this is happening. I would be upset too, but try to look at it as a chance to practice your post surgery habits ahead of time. Maybe you can even lose a little weight pre surgery which is just less you have to lose later.

My surgeon said it is best to have your A1C under 8 for surgery. If the A1C is too high you risk infection and other risk.

My husband's A1c is 13 and his surgeon won't even think about surgery until he gets it below 9. Mine was 6.9 (I cut out ALL sugar for 3 months and it took it from 8.4 to 6.9 so my doctor is thrilled and I was approved). My husband's doctor told him it's because a high A1c means the body is unstable, and it puts more stress on other organs. Doing a major surgery with the body like that is a recipe for disaster. Did you ever get it rechecked? Did you get to have your surgery yet?

It's been a year since my sleeve and I've lost a110lbs and still losing. I was in the 9.0range and since the surgery I am now5.7 and I stay in the90's now I'm not diabetic and got off most meds no shots or pills now it's been great.

Wow Jason n that’s great!
