Insulin resistance question

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

New to your group today. Am in the beginning stages of getting the

process started to getting WLS but wanted to know if any of you had a

subborn insulin resistance problem as I do. I would HATE to go

through all that I would have to go through and then not lose any

weight. By having I.R., it causes me NOT to lose anything, for

example, went to the gym five days a week, used a personal trainer,

watched carbs, higher protein, and in five months, I didn't lose even

one pound. VERY depressing!!! All the resources I look at regarding

insulin resistance all say that the best way to get rid of it is with

weight loss. WELL NO KIDDING!!! I wonder what rocket scientist

thought of that response. At any rate, I'm doing everything I'm

suppose to, but am not losing. I am not diabetic though my

endocrinologist does have me trying Avandia (Glucophage did nothing

for me) but so far it hasn't helped. If anyone has had any

experience with insulin resistance and has had the surgery, let me

know how you've done. I guess I just need some assurance that the IR

will hopefully go away once the surgery is done as it obviously

highly restricts food intake!

Thanks...
