Best friends Kera & Mikey share their journey. Part 3.

Best friends Kera & Mikey share their journey. Part 3.

by Dr. Tom Lavin / Monday, 15 July 2019 / Published in Patient Stories

Kera struggled with Type 2 Diabetes for over 3 years when she her battle became unbearable. Every doctor advised “Lose weight” but provided no other information other than the usual “eat healthy and exercise.” Knowing her life was on the line, Kera tried everything. She joined a gym – she ate healthy – she tried the aerobics videos at home – she walked around her neighborhood. Nothing worked. So, Kera turned to her friends and family for advice hoping they could provide some insight. Thankfully, Kera’s family knew about our team! Kera’s family encouraged her to make an appointment, and the rest is history!

During her first appointment, our team explained to Kera that the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy cures Type 2 Diabetes. Moreover, we explained that she was fighting a losing battle by trying to lose weight while intaking 5 insulin shots per day. Kera was skeptical to say the least! She couldn’t imagine how the cure to her diabetes and the resolution of her co-morbidities could be this simple, yet no other doctor even offered it as an option! Prior to surgery, Kera’s sugar was 837. After surgery, Kera’s sugar was 120. Much to her surprise, Kera is healed and living insulin free today!
