My Bariatric Life

(Profile)
In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss. It began with bariatric (weight loss) surgery followed by changing the way I eat, mild exercising, and attending a support group (NOT my surgeon's support group).

Taking Drugs

One thing I hear a lot from people who have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is, "I don't want to take drugs."   I can understand this point of view, because I felt the same way when I was diagnosed. I'd been unusually healthy until then, and the only drugs I took were occasional antihistamines in hay fever season and the occasional... Read moreChevron
