Suggest Remedy For Obesity In Diabetic Patients

I have diabetes type 2 and have been over weight all my life. I have been diagnosed now as being Morbidly Obese and there are all sorts of new problems associated with it. The most worrying ones are my inability to breathe and the heart disputations and distress when I undertake the simplest of tasks around the house. I have always been big and strong but after turning 61 these symptoms have all just appeared within a period of one month after our mother died and the resulting stress and depression of the event have taken it s tole. MY general question is can this change in my health go from being strong and able to do things around the house etc. to not being able to even walk to the front door without great stress be anything else other than the Morbidly obese diagnosis can this tipping point in my weight and age happen so quickly, within one month? and obviously if I can loose weight will it reverse the problem? Thank you. Yours truly Stephen aka BadhabitsOz

Diabetologist 's  Response
Dear sir i can understand your concern
i am very sorry about your condition.
in my opinion its advisable to give a try for medications like Victoza
this is a very good medication which is used in diabetic individuals for reduction of weight.
There are some surgical options are also available which can give very drastic results.
they are
1,gastric banding
2.sleeve gastrectomy
3.R-Y gastrectomy
4.partial ileal resection
in my clinic patients who have done this surgery got completely cured from diabetes
kindly discuss with your treating doctor regarding best approach for you
