Im getting ready to go back y'all
$6,000
Ok so my date is set for July 24th with Dr. Manuel Marte. I bought my ticket so next is a deposit to Rebirth Recovery Home and deposit for my overnight nurse.
Im still pretty much packed from last time.. i will supplement a few things. I have lost 20lbs since January because of my restricted diet to lower my glucose levels because of the diabetes. I was upset at first because im scared of not having enough fat for a good bbl but ima have to just hope and pray that a 29.5 to 30.5 bmi will be enough fat.

My journey has ended
I got all the way there and couldnt have sx because my A1C was 9.5.. My pcp here in the states never told me I was diabetic although i had been for at least 18 months based on old glucose tests i requested from labs i had taken... i have to wait 6 months and try again after getting the diabetes under control. I am so angry... we hear bad things about docs in other countries but if i hadnt gone to the DR how long might i have had this disease and not known. I told her and she cleared me for sx... i never looked at lab results because i always figured if you arent telling me the negatives in my results im good right??? Plus i been with her for nearly 7 years so i trusted her. Welp only positive thing is more time to lose weight. My bmi was 32.1 with 227lbs and 5 10.5 but i will lose 27lbs with all this low carb no sugar just protein and veggies and water diet im on for fuccin life.... ????????????????

Sorry to hear that! I know how frustrating it can be when you first hear about something like that! I'm diabetic too. Type 2. I didn't find out until my levels were 11.4. My advice go to an endicrinologist. They are specialist. Tell them you want to get your diabetes under control because you want to be healthy and you want sx. Be real & be upfront. They're main job is to get your diabetes under control & they know what works. My family doctor was just practising on me for 3 years before I went to see a specialist that was better equiped to help me. I know it seems hard now but with a little time its not so bad! Good Luck! PS having your diabetes under control helps with healing faster.

How disappointing. I'm sorry you had that experience. What's even worse is that Western Medicine tends only to treat symptoms once they pose a medical problem. I recently began seeing a Naturopath doctor. I had my PCP run labs which I took to the Naturopath. Just looking at my labs he identified that I was pre diabetic, had low adrenal function and candida. I was so pissed to know that my PCP had the same labs in my chart and never said a word. The Naturopath was able to improve my labs with vitamin supplements and diet in 90 days.
I pray that you get your diabetes under control and are able to move forward with your journey.
