3 months after surgery...

...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...

That is awesome news!!

Jill,
That is wonderful...Keep up the good work.

Congratulations!  I am happy and relieved for you as I want immediate and continued resolution of my diabetes postop too.

That is great!!  I was disappointed after surgery that my diabetes was not resolved and I went home taking metformin also.  I am happy to tell you that as of last week, I am completely off of all medication with very normal blood sugars.
It wont be long for you also

 congrats.... i just had simular results.... went for my 5month post op labs and my hba1c was 5.1  doc said anythign 6 and under they no longer concider diabetic.. i have been off all diabetes meds since day of surgery other then insulin day after through iv.. came home off all meds.. and have had a few  times it actually ran to low.. and had to eat to combat dizziness etc.. i have lost over 125 lbs since last summer all together pre-op diet and since surgery..  weight day of surgery was 397 and today 321.. so i still have alot to lose as well... 

Congrats on the amazing weight loss so far!

Careful with those lows - hypoglycemia is an increasingly common issue after RNY.

 That's great. I can't even get surgery scheduled if mine is above 8.0 and right now it's at 8.5. Even after a month of dieting and exercise and losing 8 pounds it's been the same for two months.  Extremely happy for you and good luck on your journey! 

That is awesome!

I had a  9.0 pre~op
This week it was 5.5
I have been off meds since the day before surgery & I feel GREAT! 

Good luck for that. According to Kaplan, bariatric surgery has the best possible weight loss outcome, with 50 - 70% of patients losing up to 50% of their excess weight and keeping it off, compared with weight loss medications (0%) and diet and exercise (2 - 5%).
