I went for a follow up visit with my primary care doctor to go over my cholesterol and A1c results.

My cholesterol is 150! It hasn't been under 200 in years!! Bad cholesterol, good cholesterol and even triglycerides are ALL normal!

But the BEST part of all was that my A1c (which measures diabetes) went from 6.4 to 5.3. Anything below 5.9 is normal.

My doctor said I am no longer considered diabetic!!

I can't believe how much of a difference the band has made in such a short time. Its like a miracle!!

Yay, I feel so great!

Congrats on the good report from the doctor today. Keep up the great work. Yes, the band is great.

THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

so, tell me, has your Dr. taken you off all medications???

How much weight did you loose and in what period of time??

I'm in the same boat as you. My numbers are normal now also, but he still has me on the meds. Just reduced all the dosages way down.

Hopefully next visit he will start to DC them.

That's great. Congrats!

I was diagnosed last October and they had wanted to start me on Metformin but I refused because I wanted to diet.

Dieting didn't work so I was at the point where I was going to have to go on both diabetes and cholesterol medicine right before I had my band.

I'm so glad I avoided that!

Good luck to you as well!

What an amazing accomplishment! Way to go!

Congradulations, you must be so proud!:Banane04:

Congratulations! It looks like the band is working well for you. I love your little finger face; it makes me smile every time I see it.

That is truly inspirational news, congratulations!

Fantastic! Hoping to get the same good news when I have my physical next month!

Great work!!! Keep it up!!!
