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!!!

I think you're doing great!   And they have detailed advancement steps that will be handed out to you on the 9th.  That's not too far away!   Just be sure to protect the pouch right now as it heals.

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!!

Jayne
