[QUOTE="harryowler, post: 1513836, member: 46845"] Hi ickihun, Thanks for your post. In answer to your questions I have no team, no one put me forward for this operation and I'm self funded. I take no medication for my diabetes but do for high blood pressure any education on my condition has been through this site alone. My diabetic nurse disapproves of this site and tells me not to eat a low carb diet or test my own blood sugar levels or check my blood pressure at home - I do though as it's my body not hers. I manage to keep my bloods within the acceptable range - 6 to 9 most of the time until I fall off the wagon. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have seen my GP, (she refers you) in the last five years and I see my diabetic nurse once a year for blood tests. I walk briskly for three miles every day and any weight I manage to loose on a low carb/fat diet is usually the result of less calories really. Then it always creeps back on slowly. Currently I've lost 7 Lbs as I have to follow a liver reduction diet for surgery. I don't personally know anyone that has had this type of surgery. I am hopeful for the future but I've no confidence at all, I hope this operation brings me peace and health to what seems a lifelong struggle. I'll post what happens. Harry [/QUOTE]
