Sparkly Jules' DS Journey

In Nov., 2004 I read an article online that said Gastric Bypass Surgery could "cure" Type II Diabetes. I pursued it, first the RnY, 2/06, but I walked away after hearing about the Duodenal Switch or "DS". I pursued it for eight long, frustrating years. On Friday, March 14, 2014 at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, my hope, surgery, was achieved. Within 30 days, my no.1 goal was met. The diabetes that had plagued me for 15 years was GONE. No more high blood pressure, either. *glory*

I enjoy taking selfies because it helps me understand how my appearance has changed in just six months. I've been tired all day, and I've got some big dark circles under my eyes, but hopefully they won't stick around (more protein!). So here they are...

You look exactly like yourself, only a whole lot less of you! The bottom photo shows the loss the most!

I've looked the same since I was a toddler. :P Look at all those freckles, though!! I guess I've gotten more sun than I thought. I have been spending a lot time outside.

I look wrinkly IMO but I would still take that in trade to not have diabetes--totally worth it!!

Thanks for commenting.
