Aug 30th date! anybody else?

[Guest guest]

Hi All, I have my airline tickets and my rental car now I just need a

hotel. I am taking Debbie's advice and calling 800 medstay. Does

anyone know who else might be having surgery the 30th?

I have lost 5 pounds since starting the research on this, but I am

just going to try not to gain any before the 30th. I have quit coffee

and diet Pepsi as of today and I have a headache already. Is it best

to go cold turkey or wean gradually? Since I am a diabetic it will

seem strange to drink juices and Gatorade since I have avoided any

drinks with calories. Did anyone else have trouble with the sugars

that had diabetes or does it not bother you because you are drinking

such little amounts? It sounds almost impossible to go from one day

of taking 120 units of insulin, plus two other drugs for diabetes one

day to none after surgery. I can't wait! Any diabetics that are post

op, do you have any advice or information that might help me, and I

have an all-time high A1c of 9.3 right now. Did it take you longer to

heal? I am going to stay until I have my staples out at the next

clinic; I am hoping they are healed by then. I am sorry to ask these

questions on the list, but with our contact lists I don't know who

was a diabetic or not. BTW I am type 2 like most obese diabetics. I

have also heard that you come out of the diabetic fog that we are

often in. I am looking forward to have a sharper mind. These are the

kinds of things that are coming up now that I am just waiting for my

dance with Dr. R.

Thanks for being there everyone.
