Sometimes I get so angry. If it is possible for young people, old people

thin people, people of all ages and and races to get diabetes, why in the world

would WLS prevent anyone from getting diabetes. This is akin to when the docs

tried to blame everything on being obese. Are they now going to blame

everything on our surgery. Dam it.

Thanks Reba! I knew it was someone on this list who reported that. And I

learned something about ketosis. Thanks so much!

Re: help...? Iron deficiencies, menstral, and

thirst

Debbie,

That may have been me talking about my son. He had his surgery 21

months ago and is a Type I who wears a pump now. Pre surgery he had

NO diabetic indications. At 9 mo out we almost lost him because the

docs said that you just can't lose 150 lbs and become diabetic.

Well, I am here to say that you can if your body turns on the

pancreas (sp?) and kills it. Especially when the docs just won't

believe what the test are telling them. Anyhow, it is just a

warning to anyone who may go into ketosis, begin RAPID wt loss with

no reason, and have alot of thirst and need to pee. Also, those in

ketosis will have a sweet/fruity smell about them.

As far as the thirst, if you are in ketosis because you are eating

mainly protein, it does not mean that you are diabetic. With

ketosis comes thirst. This may be what is going on here, but be

safe rather than sorry! Check it out! I almost lost something so

precious because no one thought it was possible to become diabetic

post surgery. I am not a doc...just been there and almost lost a

son.

Blessings,

Reba in Auburn, AL
