It's Official...I am not a diabetic anymore...

Congratulation Marti!!!! That is great news. Don't you just love this surgery!!!! Hugs, connie d

Thanks Connie...you know I guess sometimes I am just humbled by the opportunity this surgery has given me. My diabetic doctor told me that without this surgery and what I have accomplished because of it, I would probably have been dead within 5 years......and I know it would not have been a pleasant way to go.....with my weight and my insulin needs climbing every week, many complications were raising their ugly heads.....Thank God that has not happened. I pray that so many others will be able to have this surgery to help them. Love, Marti

That is awesome!!!!

Marti, Congratulations. That is a true measure of success after WLS BIG HUGS Annette

Thanks Sweetie...It is the BOMB, isn't it...this WLS...Love, M

Congratuations Marti, what a wonderful feeling!

Thanks, Genie...BTW I loved your Salsa Chicken recipe...at leaset I think it was yours. Love, Marti

Hi Marti, Congratulations.  I was type II taking Metformin.  My wls doc told me I could stop taking the medication the day after my surgery and I haven't needed them since.  It's amazing.  No more HBP meds either.  Last BP was 124/70.  I had really painful arthritis in my knees too and with the weight loss I don't need pain relief anymore either.  I was getting less and less mobile.  Now I can do stairs, up or down, without the handrail.  It is fantastic. I am so happy for you.  That must be such a big burden lifted.  I hope you continue to have major health improvements. Love, Bev

I am so happy for you also Bev......and I was just thinking today as I followed a much younger Realtor down the stairs...WOW I don't have to do them one at a time like I used to either......it was so embarrasing to walk like such the old lady that I am......now I can walk like a normal person.....and in heels. Hugs, Marti

WooHoo Marti - good news indeed!   Debbie
