off all diabeties meds

I went to my pcp after getting lab work done and he wants to try no meds   took 1 1/2+ years to get to this point 

 I took insulin and byetta  and 1000 mg metiformin twice a day  at the start of my jorney

 and only the metiformin since surgery , but now im trying just diet to control my blood sugar ,if it gets to high we will try a low dose of some meds

Woooohooo!!!    That is the best news ever!  I took Byetta and 1000mg of Metformin every day too.  And those things did a horrible number on my stomach.

 I couldn't be less than 50 ft. away from a bathroom during a certain time period every day because of those meds.  Ugh!  

Keep testing your glucose after meals to get an idea of what your body can and can't handle.  It's a great feedback tool.  

Great day isn't it? I was on 2500 Metformin, Byetta, and Glimiperide before and now I got the clearance to take nothing. A1c 5.6!!!!. I haven't had the nerve to actually stop the 500 MG of Metformin yet because i think it helps with the weightloss. 

Congratulations!!!!

Awesome news! That's what this is all about! Congrats!

Hey that is awesome! 

I take Levemir (insulin) at night, and Kombiglyze (a metformin blend) in the mornings.  I will be so happy the day I no longer have to take these, and super happy to not pay $200 a month for them!!!  This right here is the main reason that I am trying to have WLS..

yay cool.   congrats.   i have a good friend who had vsg and is just about to where you are.   she loves it.   diane
