julieburns Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I wanted to share that for the last several days I have taken none of my diabetic medication and my blood sugars are staying in a good range. I had been having terrible problems with such low blood sugars and it dawned on me I perhaps didn't need the meds. So I cut out 1 a week or so ago and now the last 2 days I havn't taken any. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy2 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi Julie, I too was type two and two weeks after my surgery I was weaned off my meds. At my two month check up my A1C was 5, down from 8 and I was taken off my medication altogether. My endrocrinologist did not want me to have this surgery, too drastic, what ever... I am no longer on any diabetes medication and I feel awesome and he is out a paient! I guess this was the biggest reason I wanted this surgery, I did not want to take shots anymore, the weight loss is a lovley second reason (JK). Good luck to you and in no time I bet you too will be off all meds! Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackovach Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Julie, That is wonderful!!! We are getting all getting so healthy, so fast!!! It is amazing how much we struggle before surgery to handle our diabetes and blood pressure. My blood sugar has been a little crazy since the surgery. I hoping that it will get back to normal asap. It has been from 130 - 157 almost everyday. I don't take any meds for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbird Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 My blood sugar is down to 88, and my husband has been able to get off his blood pressure medication that he used to take twice a day. Yay for the band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom12 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 That is awesome and the reason many did the surgery. Any less meds we can take is wonderful for our health and guess what we get to lose weight and look better too. Love the Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
