Patient Testimonial
Diana Walton
Bariatric surgery “only option” to manage diabetes
I had uncontrollable diabetes and weighed 205 pounds. My blood sugar was 500 to 600 every single day and I was using 60 to 80 units of insulin per day. Most of my family had died from diabetes and, before the surgery, maybe I had 10 years left in me. Getting this surgery was my only option. Today, I am 137 pounds and my diabetes is much more manageable and under control.
