pre-op diabetes numbers
Keep an OPEN MIND and you will learn.
Brian, Wish I had more info for you….Many here obviously do. I’d say though, and I think most of the guys would agree, Get your Docs (Bariatric Surgeon and the PCP who manages your Blood Sugar levels) "In the Mix" on this. "What do you guys recommend, and can ya’ll make sure you’re on the same page?" Is an excellent Doc conversation to have with them both. Maybe even get them talking or at least faxing one another. In the meanwhile, YOU should do everything that YOU can do To optimize your health going into surgery. Low-Glycemic index diet choices, etc…. Just pretend that your doc is sitting with you measuring EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. Looks like you’re off to a Pro-Active start. Stay with it! The "Tired-Low Energy" business could be a bit of angst/depression Brought on by the stress of anticipation. Once again, just hang-on! May 15th will be here sooner than you think, And the April 27th pre-op physical, certainly will be. During these weeks running up to your date, DON’T fall into the trap of listening to that little voice in the back of your head saying- "You better eat it Now, You won’t be able to later!" From some one coming up on year 4? That’s BS! You’ll be able to eat most everything further out post-op. You’ll just fill up on it sooner! Keep thinking "Long-Term Solution to Long-Term Problem!" Getting your Docs into every bit of your Pre-Op planning is a Smart Start! Others will have the "A1c Numbers" to compare specifics, All I would reinforce is the "Mind-Set for Success" thoughts… Have the Greatest! Best Wishes- Dx
