As a Duodenal Switch patient, I will need to be diligent about getting lab work done, and tracking my numbers so I do not become vitamin deficient in an area. I am pretty excited about this "job" I will have (I love planning, numbers, spreadsheets!) and I don't mind taking vitamins.
Well, today as part of my pre-op planning, I acquired my lab results I had done in January as well as a copy of the lab work done just a few weeks ago. I entered both into the spreadsheet and came across something amazing!
I am no longer pre-diabetic! My A1-C is in a normal range! I'm so incredibly happy!
My 3 months of self-prescribed dieting before surgery has paid off. Diabetes runs in both sides of my family, and I have been "at risk" for many years. I used to think of diabetes as an eventuality for me... but I have dodged the bullet by making good choices and focusing on eating healthy to prepare for my weight loss surgery!

This good news has definitely put some wind in my sails and is making this week's liquid diet easier to handle. Only 4 more days to go!
