im 41 years old. ive been type 1 diabetic for 25 years. i have a few complications from diabetes, the one that effects me the most is diabetic gastroparesis. i lost the ablitly to eat and drink and got my nourishment by a feeding tube that bypassed my stomach. i was on a feeding pump for 16 hours a day.

in 2004 i had a gastric pacemaker. i started to eat again in 2005. BUT..even with the pacemaker my life was a revolving door in and out of the hospital weekly. nausea, pain, vomitting, anxiety. it was awful.

i met a new doctor who found a medication that worked for me. unfortunately this medication made me exremely hungry. i couldnt stop eating.

since ive been on this medication in feb 2009 i have gained 40lbs. at one time i was only 85lbs. now i am 160lbs.

i have finally stayed out of the hospital for 30 days now. i havent stayed out of the hospital that long for 5 years. i am very excited to start dropping the weight and enjoy my health. i have been able to decrease my medication and my appetite is under better control and i started walking on my treadmill. last week i could only do 20 mins on it and now im up to 50 mins!

ill keep you posted!
