[QUOTE="Joe Condron, post: 904870, member: 196781"] Hi all, Thank you reading my message :) I have just signed up to the forum, I was diagnosed with diabetes typye 2 in 2008, which suprised me as I was always a guy who liked to keep fit, at that time I was 14.5 stone. which was ok as my ideal weight is 16.5 stone as told to me by my diabetic nurse, as I was a brawny man. I have my regular medical checks and my cholesterol is 3.5 and I am always congratulated by my GP and my nurse for the diabetic control using novomix 30. (and like everyone else I am on a shed load of medication including [I]pioglitazone[/I] ) As my cholesterol and diabetic control is described by the professionals as being excellent, I am saddened by the fact that I am gaining weight, My weight today is 21 stone. I exercise each day for at least a hour and after the GP looking at my blood test results, He feels that I have gained weight due to the side effect of the [I]pioglitazone medication, as [/I]weight gain is a "more common" side effect. I have LVF (left ventrical failure) in my heart, and also CKD stage 4, my right kidney has renal atrophy, so I am only allowed certain diabetic medication. So, I need to lose weight for health reasons, also because I am so ****** off with life at the moment, it's like carrying a 5 stone monkey on my back, it is restricting my exercise routine, that I feel I need to do each day so that I can deal with my PTSD. I am wondering if anyone has had bariatric bypass surgery, and if anyone can give me positive feedback on there operation, as I am going to ask my GP for this op. any other advice, will be very much appreciated. Thank you for reading my post. Best Regards from Joe in Liverpool :) [/QUOTE]
