New study on WLS ad diabetes

http://health.yahoo.com/news/ap/diabetes_obesity_surgery.htm l Check it out...finally some good press on the subject :)

I was a severe diabetic prior to surgery . I have not had insulin or glucophage since the night of surgery .  Duke did a study as well . They seem to think that the part of the stomach that gets the glucose moving is moved when the new pouch is made .  I do not care what happend .. all I know is that my Diabetes is in remission .Does not mean it cannot come back , once a diabetic always one .. that is why I still watch my carbs and sugar ..  This surgery .. saved my life no doubt !!

wow'praise the Lord Tink!! Im in the same boat hopefully surgery will ward me off of having to be on insulin 2 x daily!  God bless thanks for sharing the news!  Bonny

Good pm Brandi,  Good read. I've read a few others like it & its wonderful how far we've come in medicine and how much weight loss truly helps us with our health & I'm really grateful for the information.  Have a wonderful evening!

I was on so much diabetic medication prior to surgery - I even took insulin every night! The day of surgery I took my last diabetic medication and have never taken any since - I have no issues to date but am aware I will always have to be careful and watchful but I am so grateful for this opportunity to not have the disease any more .........

great news too 'Jacqueline! God bless Bonny
