If weight loss surgery is in your plan. I have kaiser they take care of all my stuff. There are also many people in our support groups that did not have the original surgery with kaiser.

mmv671 replied to sylviau's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My short term goal is to be 167. Was 173 this morning. Then 160 and finally 147. -
I actually just had some for dinner. I eat them all the time. Soft stage for me.

It kind of depends on how much weight you still have to lose. Not sure if you're self pay. Insurance usually has guidelines. I had mine in November. I love it. I wasn't at goal about 20 lbs away. Good luck.

I go to the endo in two weeks. Hopefully she will help me out. I'm fairly versed in changing my Basel rates but lately nothing I do seems to work. Kind of like hitting that sweet spot with your band.

What Age Were You When You Got The Lap Band Surgery?
mmv671 replied to MsFab1988's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was 34 when I was banded in 2010. -
I use the fit bit which works in the same way. (less expensive) they are great motivational tools. I'm all for anything that keeps us aware I our journey.

I'm starting phase 1 tomorrow. I have done a whole round. Just think how far you have come. It's no easy task. You got this.

I was just wondering people's experience with low blood sugar. I'm on an insulin pump and it seems that I'm correcting low blood sugar at least once a day. That mean 60 extra calories. It's never the same time of day so I cant really change my insulin. I also just wanted to know how your experience was with your diabetes after being banded.

170 for me.
