[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 247952, member: 35964"] cookiecrumble nobody has responded to your post yet. I can understand you being nervous at being faced with an operation,you need to discuss the finer details of the planned surgery with your doctor. I am type 2 diabetic, no medication and have just come out of hospital following surgery. I have a 10inch scar and its healing nicely,my surgeon is impressed. You can prepare ahead by making sure that you eat lots of healthy protein fresh vegetables and berries and coconut oil, these foods will support your immune system and help the body to heal. Drink tea, including green tea, its rich in antioxidants. Whilst in hospital make sure people wash their hands and disinfect before you let them touch you. I started to take extra vitamin C and homoeopathic remedy Arnica (both from Holland & Barratt) straight after surgery a naturopath once told me that they help to speed up healing and I am convinced that this stuff worked, in any case it can't do harm. Physically I am feeling very well and its just 10 days after my surgery, mentally I am in shock still as this was not planned surgery and it all happened so fast. Luckily I have lots of support from family and friends. I insisted on low carb eating in hospital and avoided the toast and cereal sawdust on offer! This helped to keep my bg levels nice and steady the highest reading I had was 5.8. The medics were well pleased about that and supported my request for low carb meals. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery, let us know how you got on. All the best Judith [/QUOTE]
