I am home and doing great!
Congratulations! Good to get another goal obtained isn't it! First it's decision, then approval, then surgery......and now home safely!. The journey continues. I have my surgery Oct. 24 hopefully, although at the moment I have a nasty cold threatening to settle in my old smoker lungs [I quit in 1990] and an abcessed tooth and I am 16 days out from surgery. Did you need insulin during surgery? Take care and keep posting. Marti :-)
Hi Marti,
Your surgery date is just a couple weeks away and will be here before you know it. For colds I take Zicam which is a homeopathic remedy that you can find over the counter. Check with your doctor if it is safe for you to take. I am a type 1 diabetic so I will always need to take insulin. I use an insulin pump and I was able to keep it on during surgery.
You should check out the Oct. 2006 board, I think there are a few others who are having surgery on the 24th. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/10-2006/

Just got back from dentist and I have an abscessed tooth and he put me on penicillin, maybe that will help prevent pneumonia also.
I guess I am just not familiar with how the pump works.I admire you for dealing with the pump. I guess I always decided I would stick with what I know, as the shots have never bothered me.
I just wish they would perfect something to measure blood sugars constantly and let you know right away. Wouldn't that be wonderful? My fingers get so tired of 5-7 sticks a day. [and I am still not in control, like right now I am sick and so they are sky high and who knows why, not from what I am eating, which is not much] I will check out the October Board Thanks! Marti
