Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 - I had been diagnosed with diabetes for 2 years when I had my surgery. I was on Glucophage to control it, but if I ate too much sugar or carbs and didn't exercise, my numbers would still get very high. I considered anything under 200 to be a " good number " for me. And that is actually kind of bad. I had surgery on Feb 2 of this year and have not taken glucophage (or anything else) for my diabetes since BEFORE surgery and my blood sugars have been PERFECT ever since. My morning numbers are regularly below 100 and rarely go above 100 at all. Normal range is between 80 and 140. I feel I am cured! This has been the case for so many. I hope you have the same good fortune. -Sherry (Lake Marcel, WA) BPD/DS Feb. 2, 2001 self-pay 5'5 " / 344 pounds / 33 years old Lost 9 pounds in pre-op weight loss efforts Have lost 67 pounds since surgery!
