Article I recommend for diabetics to read!!! Encouraging info!

You are very welcome! Good idea to save that article. Maybe it will stop the neysayers in thier tracks!

I had my surgery on December 3rd.  When I went in the hospital I was taking insulin shots.  Three weeks after the surgery I was taken off everything.  It has been like a miracle for me.  I am so glad I had this surgery.  I have lost 38 pounds since my surgery.

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO... this tool can be such an awesome gift to so many for so many reasons! Congratulations!  Welcome to our group too!

Great to hear the surgery is working great for you PhoenixMedusa...I've lost 35 pounds already after my surgery in December as well...you've lost 38 pounds, it means I'm on the right track LOL!

I am pretty new to the group and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do the signature.  Can you help me?  

I am new to oh.  I have my surgery scheduled for Monday, June 20th.  The main reason I looked into having the surgery is because of my diabetes.  I am on the pre op diet and am already having to lower the amount of insulin I take daily.  My doctor and I are both hoping that this surgery will help greatly in reducing or eliminating the amounts of medicines I need for my diabetes.

Welcome to our group, OH and to wls! I am glad to hear the pre-op diet is already helping to keep things more in control. I do hope you are one of the many who leave diabetes in the past! keep us posted, and welcome!

Thanks for the article. Aren't we fortunate? I mean, as a Type 2 Diabetic, I'm not yet cured. I just had my surgery last December of 2013 and still have a long way to go but this is something positive that we can look forward too!

Any day I should b scheduling my surgery date. I'm nervous and starting to second guess if this is the right choice for me. I just been diagnosed with being diabetic. They say I'm right on the mark to b considered diabetic. My weight is 391 I'm only 5"8. I get down on my self on how did I let myself get to this point. 4 years ago I was "normal". And now in the last two weeks I'm dealing with leg swellen which I never ever dealt with before and at times is painful to even move around let alone work out.

Sorry got off track, appreciate this article so I know what I have to look forward down the road

Never mind I figured it out and sorry for being off topic.
