How about an area where those of us living with diabetes and the band can share thoughts and tips. For example now that I am banded and filled, I am finding I am haveing many low blood sugars and would love to hear how others are handling that.

Thanks for your consideration

Good luck to you bandfan1, it's definately a high when you lose all your weight for first time and become thin. I've had some struggles with the band but it maybe due to other things. Most people on the site seem to be doing very well and you should too. I also sleep with a CPAP and am so used to it I don't know if I could sleep with out it, but it sure looks attractive!

Good luck, brandyII

Im pretty new to this site, and am so glad to find this thread. I'm registered as ciaovito(e-mail name), but call me "JO". I'm 67, have high bp, and type 2 diabetes. I was banded in March of 07 and have lost only 45 lbs, and seem to be stuck there. My sugars have hardly changed, and even my endo-dr is surprised by that. BP has stayed the same, so maybe I have to get off this 6 month plateau for things to get better. (Are there enough years left?) Does any of this sound familiar to anyone out there?:ohmy:
