 This how I felt after weighing in at my surgeons office yesterday. My A1C is actually in a non-diabetic range of 5.8, triglycerides 137, choloesterall 160, and all vitamin levels are way up in the good range. I am grateful to not have had any complications thus far in 3 1/2 months. My family and close friends have been awsome and supportive. However I must admit I am my best supporter. I plan my meals and snacks carefully, I have re-routed my stress activity from eating to cleaning and organizing my home. My body comfort level has greatly improved along with my energy level. I do still have challenges both physical and mental but they are more managable.   LOVE MY RNY!

Hey Momma! My PATS went well also. I still have a question for them due to my diabetes. They requested a clear liquid diet the day before surgery until midnight. On the list are all regular broths, juices, popcicles etc. I am trying very hard to have my sugars in the lower range. My instincts are to go sugar free, still take the insulin like usual and check my levels every 2 hours.  Other than that I am stoked and ready for the journey. Thanks for writing. Kahwren 

My dates for pre-op are 6/6 and RYN surgery 6/14! I am very excited and grateful to be at this point in my journey. Having the usual reservations about any major surgery, however they are only briefly thought about. This journey is a lifelong endeavor that thanks to OH I feel as prepared for as humanly possible. I will continue to post.

Had my stress test and echocardiogram. Always hate the treadmill. All went extremely well. Next week psychologic work up and then we can talk surgery dates. I love this website and wide variety of subjects and challenges it covers. Thanks people for letting me share and join.
