Hi everyone I'm 29yr old female awaiting my first consultation next Wednesday . I am trying to get as much info as possible I was jus diagnosed with diabetes and am experiencing infertility. I have lost 52 lbs from exercise and weight watchers but still have the endless hunger pains and am never satisfied. Any recommendations or regrets anyone would like to share I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I have diabetes and so far my blood sugars are really improved. I have cut down my insulin a lot! I may have to adjust as I start eating more, but for now, nothing but good things. Really I'm hoping this surgery will "cure" me but I doubt it as type 1 runs in my family.

Good job on the 52 lbs! It helps to do a preop diet prior to the surgery so its not such a shock to ur system.

I know a girl who had the Lapband as her weight issues were causing infertility, and a year later she got pregnant. I do think the lapband is the reason becasue they had tried EVERYTHING to get pregnant and nothing worked.

Good luck!

iwas type2totally off isuilin had a few shots when i started real foodsbut now i watch what i eat nosoda no sugar foods sugar free everything i run 99-126

So far I have been diabetic a week and they put me on metformin not fun!

I hated metformin, holy shite!!!

Made me sooooooooooooooooo sick. I'd much rather do insulin, thanks
