I've been diabetic for about 40 years. Been on insulin for 15 years. I've decided to have this surgery when my eye condition is progressively getting worse due to diabetes. Over the past several years my weight gain has been about 10 lbs. a year. My hightest weight was 272 just a couple of months ago. I now weigh 235...my goal weight is 135. I don't really think about weighing 135...it's been a long, long time since I weighted 135...I'm afraid of jinking myself...my eating is good but I need to exercise more.
I had my surgery on January 25, 2010 and the surgery was really uneventful except for the throwing up when I woke up in recovery and about six times that night...had to do with the anesthestics. I was really expecting more discomforts. I highly recommend this surgery.
