My husband wondered which would be the most successful to get his diabetes in control.  He takes 4 pills plus daily shots just for his diabetes.  Thanks so much!

I chose the DS because of my Type 2 Diabetes.  There is a 98% "cure" rate.  I am completely off of my insulin and pills.  I had Type 2 Diabetes for almost 13 years prior to my surgery.  It has changed my life and I feel fabulous!

Good luck to your husband.

I had Type 2 Diabetes for over 20 years and was taking oral meds for many years. Since my DS surgery,  my Diabetes has been resolved totally since about 2 months out. I no longer take any meds for diabetes and my blood sugars are normal. Also, my High Blood Pressure has also resolved since about 2 months out and I no longer take any meds for high blood pressure either. My blood pressure now is on the lower normal side most of the time now.

Another perk to my DS is that my  Total Cholesterol has gone from 235 before surgery to 138 after surgery. My PC is impressed with the health improvements. Best wishes to you with your surgery and health.

I believe both the RNY and the DS can take care of Type II Diabetes, but statistically, the DS has more success with that.

Personally, I am 7 months post-op and my Type II Diabetes was resolved within losing 70 lbs.
