My husband is seriously considering getting a lapband. While he is overweight, his BMI is 36, the primary reason he is getting the band is to control his diabetes. We have a friend who had the band with Dr Ortiz and 3 days after his surgery his blood sugar was down in the normal range. Is this just a fluke? Has anybody else had positive results with their blood sugar? We saw on 60 Minutes that the blood sugar comes down slowly with the gradual weight loss.
