GayleTX 1 Posted August 2, 2007 Sharon, I am a Type 2 diabetic - been on oral meds for 20 years or so - had been on 3 kinds at a time for the 2-3 yrs before wls. After being banded, I checked my sugar more regularly than I had been and watched it go down, down, down. I gradually cut back on my pills and within 3 mo. I was taking none at all. I am 16 mo. out from surgery, my sugar runs about 110 most of the time. But I am very compliant, I eat no sweets, no white carbs. Most of the people I know have had the same experience. I hope it works as well for you. Best wishes!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
