[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1652672, member: 68789"] Hi Steve, I don’t know of any T1s who’ve had it but I do know someone who’s had bariatric surgery. As a result they can only eat very small amounts at any meal so I imagine it could have a transformatory effect on the way you manage diet and insulin. They’ve also said that it affects the levels of vitamins and minerals their body can absorb. I’m giving you secondhand information so please don’t see it as cold hard fact. Could you ask for a discussion with hospital team that deal with this kind of surgery and also with their nutritionist and a diabetes expert to discuss the ways it would affect you as a T1? It may also be useful to ask to be referred to a diabetes consultant who could help you with modern insulins and weight loss before having what is often seen as drastic surgery. BTW, I’ve heard that muscle’s heavier than fat! [/QUOTE]
