I have been told that after having this surgery I would no longer have to treat my diabetes. However I am wondering if I would be trading one set of problems for another.

Losing 40lbs made my A1c drop from 6.2 to 5.9. Metaformin did the rest. Losing another 40lbs feels like climbing mount Everest that is covered in Grease with no climbing equipment.
Totally agree.
Mental illness certainly does lead to poor self care. And many of the meds add to obesity. Be interesting to know the weight history of those burdened with mental illness who went onā¦ read more

I believe we had total solar Eclipse, I was on the phone with my spouse while he was on the road, there was so much traffic I had to use google map to direct him to other roads, as it would have taken him 2 hrs to get home otherwise.
