100lbsforsale

I have a question about blood sugar. I'm not diabetic but have been called 'hypoglycemic' by my doc. (yes I've been recently tested for diabetes) If I don't eat every 3-4 hours my blood sugar 'drops' and I get sweaty, shaky and irritable. Then the headache sets in...ouch. Needless to say I eat often! So, I am wanting to do the band but what I'm reading is you only eat 3 small meals a day with no snacks etc. Has anyone dealt with this? I really want to lose this 100 lbs and get my life back, but I'm afraid of having those 'attacks' because I've come close to passing out and it scared the crap out of my kiddos. Anybody got some insight? :help:

hey all, I just started my journey. I found out this week I too have to do a 6 months supervised d/e pgm. I've been on WW multiple times in the last 2 years with pitiful sucess,but that doesn't count I guess. I talked to my ob (they also do wt counseling) about supervising me and she was so unconcerned. Just told me to go to WW and join someplace like Curves and keep track of what I do. Fortunately I went to the Lap-band seminar and the bariatric coordinator said to call her and she would tell me EXACTLY what my insurer requires...so thats what I'm going to do..I keep reading about people having to start over on the six months diet thing..ouch. I have the same worry, my BMI is 37 with a couple of co-morbilties but if I lose wt I'll be too low on the chart to qualify. I wish I could self-pay but its not an option.
