I have considered such surgery, but I have read that blacks and hispanics tend not to heal as quickly as white patients, and tend to gain weight back more quickly. So, I’m not looking into it for the time being.
We've lost dozens of pounds and our A1Cs are fully in the good zone. Don't do the surgery. But it's imperative you find what can help you finally reverse whatever is unhealthy in you.
We need you around and at your best, sir.
