Best friends Kera & Mikey share their journey. Part 4.

Best friends Kera & Mikey share their journey. Part 4.

by Dr. Tom Lavin / Monday, 22 July 2019 / Published in Patient Stories

It’s the simple things in life. As Mikey’s health deteriorated over the years, she became less and less physically able to contribute to household chores or yard work outside. Simply walking outside in the Louisiana summer heat would send Mikey’s sugar through the roof. As a naturally independent person, it was very difficult for Mikey to rely on other people for everything. After the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, Mikey became the strong independent woman she used to be before she was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Although it may not seem like much to anyone else, Mikey was so excited to be able to the cut the grass in her yard. Her body can now withstand the Louisiana heat, and Mikey couldn’t be more excited to tackle those everyday mundane chores!
