Hi all I just got my lap-band on the 26th may 2010 last Wednesday anyway need some support and make some new buddies anywhere:thumbup: around the world. I am 42 year old Aussie male 6ft2 (188cm) 308lbs (140kg) type 2 diabetic. So would love some feedback and help. Cheers hope to hear from you all soon.

Good luck to you! It's been 2 years for me and I am happy with my band--IF I work it! It is easy to eat around the band with the wrong things. See your doctor, make the right food choices, exercise, and look forward to good health. The diabetes may become a thing of the past. My friend who had diabetes got the band and went from shots and neuropathy and worsening vision to feeling great with one pill a day for his diabetes. Wishing you the best---
