one less diabetic
i had my 1st pos-op appointment today. Things have gone fairly well, so i expexcted a nice visit. I'm down 13 lbs from my pre-op appointment, so that was satisfying. The best part was showing Dr. Gazmuri and Nancy my AM/PM blood sugar readings since i've been home. i've been without insulin for the last 5 days.... and today they told me i didn't need to check my finger sticks anymore. In his medical opinion - i am NOT A DIABETIC anymore!!!!!!!!!!
my dream has come true just 9 days out. The weight loss is just a fun extra bonus from here on out. What a wonderful feeling!!!

Sue,
This is so wonderful! It is the sole reason that I had my surgery. The weight loss was merely frosting (oops!) on the cake (double oops!).
I was not on insulin, but taking 5 metformins and 2 glyberides daily. I was also taking a high blood pressure pill. No more of those pills! My hip pain of two years is also gone!
I look forward hearing about other wonderful changes in your life!!
