Thankyou @buckmr2 .
Do you still find the aftercare telephone number any use?
You had your op around same time as my none diabetic friend. She has lost 11st too.
Im not expecting to lose that much and have been told and also no guarantee i will be able to stop the insulin.
However, as you know your body starts treating other meds differently too so i might be able to tolerate another type2 med again rather than solely rely on insulin.
I do have to wait and see.
The op is mainly for weight loss and anything more is a bonus.
I'm not even sure what insulin I'd be on after op if I do need it.
I have had a few insulin regimes now. 2 pregnancies. 1 with metformin too. I've had mixed insulin and now seperate basal and bolus again.
I bet insulin sensitivity is difficult as your stomach isn't as big as normal type1s. Have you been given half unit insulin pens?
