Kera & Mikey – Not Diabetic, Now Healthy

Kera & Mikey – Not Diabetic, Now Healthy

by Why Weight / Monday, 12 August 2019 / Published in Patient Stories

Prior to surgery, Kera was in liver and kidney failure. Mikey was constrained to an insulin pump at all times. Doctors didn’t know how to help except to pump them full of more insulin. It was not until Kera and Mikey visited with our team that they realized Type 2 Diabetes can be cured by the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. Since surgery in 2018, Kera and Mikey are healthy for the first time in years. Now, it’s time to catch up on the life they’ve been missing!
