How is it going? I am scheduled for mid december. Love to hear feedback about experiences with diabetes and banding!

I have discussed the bolus adjustments with the anesthesiologist and surgeon. I had a pre-op consult with anesthesiologist (but then surgery was delayed because of insurance stupidity and now rescheduled for december). They were pretty vague about the whole thing, pretty much told me to put on the lowest basal rate that i use 12 hrs before surgery and then check in regularly with my endocrinologist to adjust after surgery.

Hi, Was wondering if your surgeon had a requirement for your HbA1C before surgery. I have type I and my blood sugars have not been great due to insulin resistance. Hope this doesnt make me ineligible for surgery. anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, was wondering if anyone has experience with this. Did your surgeon require your HbA1C to be a certain level before surgery? I have type I and my blood glucose has been a bit wonky the past month or so. I'm afraid that the surgeon will not approve me if I need to get my A1C done right now.
