50/50 chance that my diabetes 2 will be eliminated *

  • Name: Marguerite
  • Age: 63
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: July 23rd, 2013
  • Testimonial date: August 22nd, 2013
  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I have not taken any pills for my diabetes since 3 days before my surgery. I am following the diet that is recommended after surgery. It has been only 4 weeks of no diabetes medication I feel good and pray that after I complete the 6 month program and change in my eating pattern that I will stay diabetes free. After 5 years of struggling with being too sweet I am getting "unsweetened". Feels good and I have faith and prayer on my side. I have lost 15 pounds since surgery which helps me in my road to recovery.
