    Switching To Kaiser After Being Banded

    If weight loss surgery is in your plan. I have kaiser they take care of all my stuff. There are also many people in our support groups that did not have the original surgery with kaiser.

    Breast Reduction

    It kind of depends on how much weight you still have to lose. Not sure if you're self pay. Insurance usually has guidelines. I had mine in November. I love it. I wasn't at goal about 20 lbs away. Good luck.

    Diabetes And The Lap Band

    I go to the endo in two weeks. Hopefully she will help me out. I'm fairly versed in changing my Basel rates but lately nothing I do seems to work. Kind of like hitting that sweet spot with your band.
  10. I was 34 when I was banded in 2010.

    I lost 4 pounds this week!

    I use the fit bit which works in the same way. (less expensive) they are great motivational tools. I'm all for anything that keeps us aware I our journey.

    Diabetes And The Lap Band

    I was just wondering people's experience with low blood sugar. I'm on an insulin pump and it seems that I'm correcting low blood sugar at least once a day. That mean 60 extra calories. It's never the same time of day so I cant really change my insulin. I also just wanted to know how your experience was with your diabetes after being banded.
