Hi Isabell..I too am in need of losing about 70-80 lbs...I'm 58 years old, have diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I've been fighting this weight problem for most of my life and also have tried many diets. I'm planning on attending my seminar in Macallen Tx. in Sept. , as we're on our way there to our winter home. Dr. Reyes is head of the clinic. I attended a seminar in Nashville,Tn. but was told to have the procedure in Tx. where we spend most of each year. Do you know anything about this Doctor or can you recommend another? We'll be staying in that area. Thank you...and you look fabulous!! Serenity Seeker

Pre-Opt diet messing with blood sugar?????
serenity seeker replied to LundyLane's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a type II diabetic and I take Metformen 500mg 2x a day, along with Avandia 8mg 1x a day and Byetta 10mcg which I inject 2x a day. My sugars are reading at 160 - 175 first thing in the am. I'm hoping to lesson my meds by being banded. Do you have this problem and has it improved? -

Thanks for the quick response. How long did the whole process take? I mean from the seminar to the surgery date? I'm getting anxious. I have BC/BS/ of Michigan and they tell me that's one of the best. you have a great day....I'm about to head to the beach and as always will most likely be one of the biggest babes there!! Life goes on anyway....lol -
