A bit of background, I was a type 2 on an insulin pump. But I have a stepdaughter who is a type 1.
WLS unfortunately will not resolve diabetes in a type 1 like it will in a type 2 because unlike type 2's who just use insulin poorly, a type 1 does not even make insulin.
Type 1 and LADA are autoimmune diabetes. Type 2 is genetic/weight related. ONLY current method of resolving a type 1/LADA is a pancreatic transplant.
Now, getting WLS and losing weight WILL ease your insulin needs in Type 1 and LADA. But you will ALWAYS require insulin as your body does not make it.
Make sure your endo is letting your bariatric surgeon and the hospital know exactly how to care for your diabetes.
