I am a type II Diabetic. Without meds my blood sugar is in the 300's. With meds my fasting is about 190...which is still to high for fasting. Before I decided to have the surgery I was put on three different blood sugar meds and that was my breaking point.

Well - I have to report that I have been checking my sugars religiously all week. I have not been taking any meds and my fasting runs 85-109 in the morning!!!!! It hasn't been that low in 10 years even with meds!

ya hooo, thats the results you where looking for.

Yep! I didn't expect that so soon...no on to the cosmetic victories....much more slower to notice...lol

That's fantastic news!

That's great. Keep up the good work.

What a great NSV! Happy for you.

Thank you guys...it is pretty awesome. Diabetes is one of those cruel diseases that makes you crave what will end up killing you. I don't know if its the band or the lower blood sugars...but my cravings are more in control. Not to mention I am not running to the ladies room every hour!
