Dang It!!!! Dang It!!!! Dang It!!!!
Well I just a call a little bit ago from my Dr. nurse.. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. He wants me to came in and talk to me.
Just what I needed at this point in my life. I'm tired of taking meds and now I have to take more....I should have known that this would happen it runs in the family. My dad and brother both have it, and I would be willing to bet that my sis does as well. Everyone in my family is large 4 of us have sleep apnea and all of us have HPB, so why not chalk up another for me. Dang it!!!!

Just remember that after having this surgery, it may all very well go away!

Mine was gone after a month...I reduced my meds immediately after surgery and after 3 months, was off the diabetes meds completely.

With you being so recently diagnosed the chances of it going away completely are very good... keep your head up, this is one more thing that will help with insurance approval!

Thanks for the kind words. The support that everyone gets here is amazing.
I need to cal my Dr. Caccuci and tell her that My test was positive for diabetes. Her office fileed the paper work to my Ins company last week. But it is stated in there that there is a family hisory.

well personally i hope that means the insurance will approve your surgery Dont worry after surgery most likely the diabetes will disappear and you'll be so happy and healthy you wont remember. The day my surgeon reviewed my bloodwork (1 week before surgery) he said my #'s showed i was pretty much diabetic which i was shocked! thank God for this surgery and all its benefits

My sugar numbers are great after surgery...I was in the early stages as I went into surgery...another comorbid, just another reason to be approved!
