7 weeks post op

So I am 7 weeks out and 49 pounds down!  I saw my surgeon last week, and his reaction to me was, "you're weight loss is not as much as I expected"...WHAT?  This made me feel like a complete failure and I left his office with a sense of "Why did I have this major life changing surgery?, and What do I do now?"  He said that to his credit I was his first type 1 diabetic and he really didn't know what the future will bring, that we will have to see in a year or two.  I spent about 15 minutes being very angry and completely down on myself.

Then...I said to myself, "He does not dictate my fate, in this process!"  The Lord is my guide and I believe he believes in me.  So, when I got home I did some research on the internet with Type 1 Diabetics and gastric bypass.  What I found was two doctors back east who are finding great success in this surgery being an amazing tool for obese type 1 diabetics.  I called my diabetic nurse and she was livid and said that she would bring this to the chief of endocrinology, and they would help me in this process.  I know in my heart of hearts that this was the one and only answer for my weight loss, and some ignorant surgeon will not make me a failure.
