hello everyone, i'm going to try this and hopes that it works(posting) i have been roaming this site for over 6 months now. my whole process started dec 06. i'm overwt and have diabetes. the whole diabetes thing started when i started having children. i have 3 kids. 2 girls age 15 and 12, and 1 boy age 9. the lights of my life. when i started having trouble getting my sugars under control no matter what i did my dr suggested wls, so here i go!!! i have pre-op on 8-16 and surgery on 8-20. starting to get nervous, but know in the long run all worth it. and i'm exciting to be here also, you guys are great!!!! regi

Hello!! Nice to meet you!
My wife and I both had WLS in May. Jane had diabetes and had been through several medications. The last one was something synthesized from Gila Monster saliva! Anyway... Within about 4 weeks after the surgery, she was able to come off all her diabetes medications! The speed of the improvement is amazing. She was off her high blood pressure medication at about the same time too.

Good things are coming your way for you and those kids!!!

-Mike-

hey mike, nice to meet you. keep posting so we can see how we are both doing. i'm going to try and start a modified liquid diet to get ready for after surgery. my dr did not tell me i had to start one, but everywhere i read they say it is good to do so. i wish you the best. regi

mike and jane, nice to meet ya. it is good to know about someone else having diabetes and wls helped them. as you can imagine, i am scared that if i go thru this and it doesnt help me with my diabetes. but i am thinking positive and am very excited in another way to know that i will hopefully be a different person with more energy. regi
