Hi how did you manage with hypos and dumping syndrome 😊

Tell us more about your experience with diabetes in 2 years. How did you deal with the type one issue. This is what stops me so far from doing the sleeve operation

I am type 1 diabetes. My biggest concern is hypoglycemia. If I can't drink how can I raise my sugar if required

So how did it go?

how did your type 1 diabetes improve after your sleeve surgery?

T1D rider here as well. Also, having RNY surgery this year. Ride safe and enjoy it!

I’m type 1 diabetic and 20 days post op (VSG). This video helped me tremendously. Thank you!

Hey glad to find your channel! I am also type one diabetic and planning on having surgery in a couple of months started my channel for the same reasons not a lot of info out there are you on a pump or a dexcom ?

You look great!

I’m type 1 and I’m getting the sleeve in 2 weeks. On the liquid diet now and it’s hard. Real hard. I’m glad to have your videos to watch. Thank you.

Thank you! Type 1 here getting ready for VSG!

Thank you so much for this. I’m type 1 and just starting the journey to get laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery.

Hi Samantha, I truly wish you all the best in your life. I am a 24 year old suffering from diabetes type 1 and i am thinking now more and more about doing the Sleeve op. I am also about 40 kilos above my ideal weight. I am taking about 35 - 40 units before each meal and feeling like a youthful spirit living inside an old tiring man's body. There is not much information on the internet so please answer me. Would you recommend it for me?

Samantha, do you have a significant drop in the amount of insulin you now use since the surgery? I've researched type 1 diabetics getting the sleeve vs gastric bypass, not much info out there other than a video from 2015 when the Cleveland Clinic was saying the Bypass seemed to be the better option for type 1, but now that the sleeve is becoming more and more popular, i'm wondering now if the Cleveland Clinic still thinks the Bypass is a better choice.. A friend of mine had the sleeve also and he has lost between 120 and 140 in about 14 months and really looks and feels much better.

Hey how r u doing ? Hope you’re feeling better now ,It’s a nice informative video you have posted thanks for that 👍 can’t wait to watch your new video . Looking forward for meeting you soon.

I have the same issues

Thank you. It is always awesome to hear about your journey. I am so proud of you. ❤️

Hi Sam. I just wanted to touch base and tell you I have had my surgery plus my surgeon found 2 hernias that he repaired. I am a bit sore but not sorry. Thanks to you I was prepared. Blood sugar levels have been amazing. The odd low. Still need to fine tune my long lasting insulin. Hopefully you are doing well now you’re back at work and life is speeding up again. Let me know how going back to the real world works? Thanks Kathy 😀

Thank you for my shout out. Tomorrow the 9th is my big day. You are already looking so slim. Your beautiful face seems so much slimmer. Thank you for your posts. You give me the confidence and courage to know I am really doing the right thing. Your son is such a cutie. Will check back in when it’s done. Take care. Kathy 😀

u look great, ur son is so cute! thank you for all the information, ur face looks so slim! im glad u feel good. do u throw up alot?

Yes there is some pain alot is from the gas you get filled with not alot of pain but there is some. Thanks for watching hope it helps!

is there pain post surgery?

Also I had to get cleared by all my doctor's and my endocrinologist thought that I would do good after the surgery I mean it took a good 6 months before I was able to get it done and talking to all my doctor's too.

How did you know you were ready to have the surgery ? Were you well controlled before your surgery? Are you coping after it ?

9th July just about 2 weeks to go. This surgery is very rarely done on type 1 diabetics in Australia. So was very pleased to see your post. I don’t feel so alone now. Please keep posting I am really keen to follow your progress.

Thank you so much. I found what you had to say very valuable as I prepare for my journey.
