Diabetes Success?

[reshiapooh96 31]

Hey guys, I have diabetes and was hoping that the band would alleviate that once I lost weight. Well, In 3 years now I have only lost 48 lbs and have regained 8 of those back. I still have diabetes and I'm not a spring chicken sort of speak. Does anyone else Have/Had diabetes that wasn't corrected with the band? If so, Have your diabetes improve after sleeve? I need to stop being a chicken and do something NOW!

Since surgery my symptoms of diabetes are completely gone and my Doc has taken me off all the meds I was taking for it.

I never had the band but I was diagnosed with type 2 about ten years ago. I had progressed to taking glypicide twice a day, 1000 mg of metform in twice a day, and 45 units of lantus at bedtime. Surgery was 9/20 and I m off all three. Had an A1c last week and it was 5.8. Yippee!

I have type one and used to take 60 units of insulin and have high sugars, now I have normal sugar levels and only take 7-10 units of insulin daily.

I was on Metformin twice a day 1000 gm, and Avanderyl. I was taken off Avanderyl and metformin was cut in half. I was also taken off one of my BP meds after losing 48 lbs 2 years ago. I was told that the band wouldn't stop me from being diabetic but I didn't listen. Now my BS is out of control again and I'm hungry all the time. I look forward to having an A-1c level like that
