That was my second thought. I'm guessing it makes a big difference, I have a friend where deafness runs in their family. Her son is deaf in one ear, her nephew is totally deaf. I'd rather be deaf than blind.

Jamie also had bionic legs & an arm which gave her super-powered strength, as powerful as a bulldozer.

I'm very happy to hear that you're doing better! I know that having your gallbladder removed means you almost certainly have to start restricting your diet. I say "almost certainly" because apparently some people who aren't affected as much as others. I assumed part of this was because, for example, if you never at spicy or fatty foods (which are hard to digest), then you don't have to give them up. Maybe it's still too early to tell, but how's that going?

Yeah, that's the only thing. Can't eat foods that are too fatty or greasy. Don't know what affect it has, but that is what everyone is told when they have this type of surgery.

The incisions have just about healed up! Took about a month or so to do it!!

How have you been feeling? Have you changed your diet much?
It is fun to look back at The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman shows as an adult with an understanding of the laws of physics.

Yes, I have. I eat very little these days. My weight has gone down from about 280 to 229 My waist size has gone down from a size 52 to size 44. Supposedly, if your weight goes down, & you're a diabetic, the diabetes is supposed to go away. I want to find out if it has.
If you have Type 2 diabetes, losing weight can reduce your insulin use. I don't know about making it go away. If nothing else, losing that 50 pounds should at least feel good.

It did for me. At my fattest, I was around 275 and getting bigger every day, and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
For me, the magic number was (and is) 200lbs. Anything over that, my A1C creeps up and my day-to-day blood sugar spikes more, and I have to be very careful with my carb intake. Under 200lbs, I can do pretty much as I please without much of a problem.
Even that candy corn casserole!

Guess what, guys,?!!! The diabetes is gone because I lost a lot of weight. Though I must check it periodically, It is in remission now.
