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.
