Amy,

I am wondering how you are doing after your surgery. How are you feeling? Hope everything went well.

Good Morning All,

I am new and have been hovering on this site for at least one month. Tomorrow is the day for me. The information on this site has been wonderful and has provided me with all the answers to questions I have had except one.. does anyone have type II and how has it been after the band? My concern is low blood sugar and how to handle it. Thanks for all of the great posts and here I go!

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.
