Hello I had lap band surgery in 2014 and did very well initially list 70 lb wanted to lose more but it just wasn't working blood sugar decreased everything looked great but from last year weight has been slowly creeping up gained 20 lb sugar is up too it's a linear relationship I'm very scared of diabetes and am considering ds I know a person who had it done over 8 years ago and he is very happy I did some reading and found there are many lap band patients who end up doing other surgeries abs it appears that ds is the most effective esp to deal with diabetes if anyone has any comments please I need some help here tia
