how has the sleeve help with you sugar does it go away like it doe with gastric bypass

Hi, i was sleeved on Jan. 5th and at my post op check I was able to stop taking metformin. My fasting blood sugars have been perfect since surgery.

I took my last dose of meds for diabetes the day before surgery.  Been off of them since.  My last A1C was 4.9.

There's no guarantee, but chances are good that it will resolve.  At the very least, it'll get better!

I've been diabetic for over 10 years.  My A1C before surgery was 6.7 and my last reading was 5.4.  I have taken only 4 doses of Victoza since my surgery on 12/22/12.  I feel so much better it's wonderful!  I still have to get vigorous exercise, so 3 or 4 times per week I go to the gym and do a 60 minute step aerobic class.  On the days that I do my class and for a day or two after, my sugar rarely goes over 160.  If I'm out further than two days from exercise, I can still approach 200, but the A1C has come way down and I'm so thankful. 

I guess to answer your question based on my experience, your sugar should come down significantly with the sleeve but it depends on how long you have been diabetic, how much you exercise and how strict you are with your diet.  It's a great tool but it's not a miracle, you still have to do your part.  Good luck to you!

I have not had any meds since 2 days post op. I was on 2x a day 1000 mg humalog 20 units before meals lantus 60 units at night. I was sleeved 1/25/12. Blood sugars range 116 to 125 was already taken off meds
