Type 2 Diabetes.
About 20 Years ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. At first I was treated with tablets twice a day, and this kept me in control for a while. In the last two years, my Diabetes was so bad, that, I could no longer control it with insulin, medications, diets, or exercise. Beside diabetes, I also had a high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea. I was in a mess and very depressed, as I had lots of plans for my retirement.
Finally, my Doctor suggested that I should have a surgery called (Roux-En-Y) and after this procedure, I should be back to normal, at first, I was very sceptical as, I never heard that there could be an alternative to Diabetes, other than Insulin, Medication, and Diets.
I went straight home to my computer, and checked “Mediline Medical Encyclopedia” and found out that is exactly what I was after, No more Tablets, No more Insulin, No more blood pressure, No more sleep apnoea, and I am now losing lots of weight, 12 Kgs. since my operation 3 weeks ago. The operation took about 4 Hours, I was admitted at the Box hill Hospital, for about four days. The operation was totally funded by “Medi- care” as the ramifications of Diabetes, would have been a much higher cost to “Medi-care”.
After the second day of my operation, I was off all medications for the Diabetes, and now 3 weeks later, I have reduced the medications for the high blood pressure, and it seems next week, I will be seeing my GP. To further decrease the medications for the blood pressure, as for the sleep apnoea, it is all gone, thank God no more snoring and chocking at night.
Before the Operation, I was 110Kgs. Now 98Kgs. and losing. The Doctor assured me that, I will stabilise at about 78, to 80 Kgs. By then, I should be without any medications.
I have battled weight problems since my teenage years, do not be fooled by dieting, diets do not works, in fact my Doctors showed me statics, that only 4% of all diets are successful. Do not be fooled, with all these adds you see on Tele. and else where. The only way to treat obesity is eating less, and the only way to achieve this. Is through the procedure of the Roux- En-Y. Do look it up on the internet, or in any Medical Encyclopedia.
Thank you Chuck and whilst I do not have the problem I am glad to say I will be happy to pass your infrmation on to my mates ..............clay
