Shelby345 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Hi, I was banded on 7/7. I was, and in a way still am insulin dependent with my diabetes. Prior to surgery I was taking about 40-50 units of humolog daily and 15 units of lantus at night. Since surgery I have not taken the lantus and am taking about 5 units of humolog with meals. Being diabetic was my #1 reason for doing the surgery. I also have sleep apnea and sleep with a c-pap machine because my snoring was REAL loud. I dream and goal... is to be off insulin and be able to sleep without looking like darth vader. I can't wait for the time to be able to go to bed with my 3 year old daughter and sleep with her without having to worry about the cold air coming out of the machine right on her face. I hear for some with diabetes....after the lap band surgery they no longer have diabetes. Any stories to share with me. Thanks guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
