...and my HBA1C is 5.4 with a fasting glucose of 90!
The morning of surgery, my fasting glucose was 180-something, and my A1Cs within 45 days prior to my surgery were 8.1 and 7.9.
I'm now on less than half the meds I was on before surgery (2500mg metformin and 50mcg Januvia pre-op), and I'm well on my way to full resolution. I've been on 1000mg metformin daily since surgery, and with these latest results, I'm currently cut back to 500mg metformin daily - nothing else - and as long as my numbers stay this good, we'll kick that metformin completely in a few more months.
And I still have over 100 pounds to lose, so it's not like it's resolved because I'm near a normal weight...

Congrats on the amazing weight loss so far!
Careful with those lows - hypoglycemia is an increasingly common issue after RNY.
