Pros and Cons of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Quote From: justheatherI have type 1 diabetes. I am 34 and have had diabetes for 26 years. I want this surgery and am sure insurance will cover it; however I'm not sure of the risks for diabetics. I know I should research this; however I just wonder if anyone diabetic has had this surgery and been happy with the results or ran into any medical issues with it? Also once having the surgery, is the sagging skin something that you must take care of with a tummy tuck to not feel strange about it. I am 205 lbs and 5'1". The doctors say my goal weight should be 110-120 lbs due to my small frame and height. With my blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes this surgery could prolong my life. Please advise if you are diabetic with good or bad experiences with the gastric bypass surgery.
Thank you Today is my first time on this web site and i read what you wrote i am 3months out before I had surgery i had type 1 also, high blood pressure, and I also have PCOS. Type 1 is gone, blood pressure is normal and PCOS is under control. I am so glad I had this surgery I love what my body is turning out like . I eat less drink lots of water and work out about 4 times a week. I weighed in at 302 im 5'9 and now i'm 215 I was a 26 now 16 I have a great experience with this and don't regret any of it. If I can help let me know .... Good luck!!!!!
