Re: Question about South San Francisco

[Guest guest]

HI

I think this might of been asked before and I am not sure if there was an answer, but i am wondering if there is a website for the south san francisco bariatric group like there is for the richmond one ? thanks

Colleen

P.S. Some of you might of read in my previous posts that i was worried about not having a documented second co morbidity, yesterday my dr called to say that i have diabetes, this just blew me away.......................it was greeted with mixed emmotions, i mean ok second co morbidity, but now i have this............................so i am hoping even more now that my surgery is approved, I dont know why i feel kind of like a failure that i have this, it isnt anything that i can change genetics wise, its hereditary the adult onset.......

I guess after a day i have adjusted to it...............but dang one more pill a day to take, and i learned that when you have diabaetes, your cholesterol level has to be lower than the norm, so i thought i was good on that, that i had improved come to find out now i have to take a pill for that too.......but i am not giving up and i am not going to lose the faith,

thanks for listening

Colleen,

I am so sorry to hear that you have diabetes. However, I have a friend that is totally off all medications since WLS. Hypertension medications, diabetes, cholesterol, and gerd. Hang in there, you are certain to be approved and this is just one more reason to improve you health.

Hi Colleen,

Sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with diabetes. That was one of

my greatest fears pre-op. Fortunately, diabetes is one of the problems that

is likely to go away after your WLS.

I feel certain that you will be approved for surgery. It is always takes

longer to get to surgery than we'd like . . . but, it will happen.

All the best,

Kay

Hi Kay

Thanks for the compassion, this is one of the reasons i wanted to do this surgery to avoid this.............today i got a glucometer, i have no clue how to use it , but i will mess around with it tonight and see what happens, its too confusing to deal with at just getting home from work, the pharmacist did show me a few things, later on there will be a class on it.

Thanks for thinking of me
