Hi All. My A1c is 6.1 after surgery in January and no meds. My surgeon wants me on diabetes meds to be in the non diabetic range. Did any of you have to do this and what were the medications your doctor chose? Thanks.

Hi All. If you can believe it I fell as I was walking my dog the other day. I broke one rib and bruised others. Everything else is ok. Except...

Hi All. I had my Gastric Bypass last Tuesday and everthing went very well. For those of you on a clear liquid diet after surgery, do think that sugar free popsicles and SF jello count as liquid lol?

Hi All. Did any of you have GERD before you did the sleeve and if so did your GERD become worse? Thanks.


Nancy Geoghegan posted a discussion topic 6 years, 2 months ago

Hi All. I just signed my consent forma at the surgeon's office. I am having gastric bypass surgery and the surgeon said that if there were adhesions or scar tissue where I had my lap and removed 3 years ago he would do the gastric sleeve instead.
