I have diabetes and I was banded 8/5/08. I too wondered if I would have lows. I haven't and it really surprises me. I use to have them quite often prior to my surgery. For like a week after my surgery I refused to take my metformin. My levels were great so I didnt think that I needed it. When I was able to go on mushies and reg food, I started up with my metformin again but at half the does. It seems to be fine now, my numbers are pretty good. Once loose a little more weight I believe that I will be off the meds all together.

Sooooo Cool!!!! Congrats!!!! Keep on going!!!

Hi Guys, I was banded on 8/5/08 and it ended up being open surgery rather than laposcopy. I was wondering if anyone knows how long the recovery might be and when you think that I might be able to return to work. It's already been over two weeks and I am still very sore. I haven't been able to do much, even sitting here at my computer is painful. Also, does anyone know what I can put on my scar so that it will heal. I'm still bleeding a little from it. Thanks for any and all advise.
