Re: more likely to have gestational diabetes?

[Guest guest]

I think your doc is a Nut Nut, lol... I had Gestational diabetes BOTH my

pregnancies and they were kept under comtrol my a GOOD DIET. How in the world

could you possibly have it if you are eating well after WLS? I think she/he is

wrong. MY surgeon told me now that I had lost weight I will not have regular

diabetes in my older age like the said I would without losing weight. So I

really

would like to know where your doc gets this too...

Were you glucose intolerant before or type II. My MD states once you are

classed as diabetic --- your diabetes doesn't go away you just have good

control of it with exercise and less eating. If you have sickness or times

of stress ie: pregnancy included that your blood sugar might rise. This is

also what we are taught in nursing school - (RN)

Chrystal,

This doesn't make sense to me either, especially when you combine it with the

fact that many, many people who are diabetic do not need to take their diabetes

meds literally days after their WLS because their bodies are processing sugars

better. How much experience does this specialist have with WLS patient, I would

be interested in knowing that? What did they base their information on?

more likely to have gestational diabetes?

Hi All,

When I went to see the specialist last week she said that I would be more

likely to have gestational diabetes now that I have had WLS than when I was 350

and pregnant. Does anybody understand this? Cause I just don't get it. Why

when I am so much healthier and lighter would I be more likely to get diabetes

while pregnant? I don't remember any talk of this in any WLS literature....

I also asked the specialist how this is possible since my pre-wls pregnancy I

ate a large whopping wild blizzard everyday and ate like a cow - drank sugar

soda. Gee how else would I get to be over 350 lbs....

This pregnancy I eat a couple pieces of candy here and there , no ice cream

cause I'm now lactose intolerant...if I drink soda its diet. I eat fruit and

veggies now and eat less definately.

I also agree she doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to

wls patients...I'm just gonna call and ask my wls surgeon.

That's odd... I hadn't heard that... prior to my wls, I was a very

brittle diabetic for nearly 12 years, on insulin and three differnet

oral drugs. If anyone should have/should be likely to have

gestational diabetes it is me, and at 31 weeks, my sugars are the

best they have ever been in my life! LOL!!

Wonder where she got her information? I'd sure ask!!! I'd honestly

like to know, myself! :~)
