Default To answer all my health ?

Most you know that I have health issues, and have been dealing with them for some time.
The worst is Diabetes for the last 21 years. It has done all kinds of things to me over the years but the last couple of years its been really tuff!!

My eyes have both had detached retinas as a result of scar tissue from bleeds in the eye
can' feel my hands and feet anymore, i heal ever so slow, causing infection that i have had month long hospital stays 4 different times.
The last thing as of late my kidneys are working at only 16%

So to make a long story short I had a Gastric Bypass to lose weight.
It has been one week and my Diabetes is GONE!!
This will hopefully slow done or stop all the nerve damage that is going on??
Kidney Doc says she has 2 other people that were same as me had the operation and now they have regenerated to 40% kidney function!!

My right eye has been repaired but not perfect but we will be doing the left eye soon and hope for the best??

So there you go you guys all know what I have been doing t myself over the years, and how i am trying to fix it all! Its been a week and I have lost 10 pounds already and no sugar so far if this keeps up I am glad not to take any more needles for the rest of my life.

Thanks for listening!

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
