Well only "7 Days" and the Band will be on! So far so good. I'm also a Type II Diabetic, and the past week my levels have been on Point, from 80-108 and I cut my Lantus (Insulin) down 80%!!! Do I smell a Needle Free Future?!

I went to my PCP to get my Final Clearance this morning, all the Paperwork stuff. They took my Weight, I'm down almost 14lbs!!! I didn't believe it, so I weighed myself on two other scales there, but that's what it said. I really can't see a difference tho. I just have never felt this good about anything I've ever done, I mean done just for me. And I'm actually following through with it. But I have to say this Forum is what's getting me through. I have gained a lot of knowledge from you all, so thank you so much!

Your Friend,

Rocko, you sure are handsome. Congrats on getting your band. You will love being banded. Its a whole new life. You will not be hungry and when you are you will eat like a bird. Be prepared for the weight to miraculously melt off. Good luck.

I am going to be banded just a few days after you, on Thursday the 29th. It seems so soon. I am a self pay so I got rushed past the whole insurance delay!

My doctor is only asking me to lose 5 pounds before surgery. I am delaying that process for as long as possible.

I so far having had any of the major effects of being overweight (a bit of gerd) so I can't relate to the whole diabetes thing but everything I have read says that you will probably be in remission after you lose the weight. That is if you are a type two diabetic.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Rocko!!!

Your day is almost here, and you're losing weight, congrats!!!

You perhaps smell an insulin needle-free future, but sadly, our futures will not be completely needle free (what with the port accessing and all :welldoneclap: ).

It'll be here before you know it! Make sure to get your liquids in and be ready. Good luck!
