Hi Kellie, the best person to help you, is YOU! Learn all about diabetes and how to manage it. It can sometimes be cured or you can have better management of it through diet, depending on the type you have.

Some diabetics can get off medication they're taking just through watching their food intake and lowering their weight.

Learn and read all about the lapband. There are many web sites, books that you can research and read about both. when you are better informed you can talk to you doctors (and your parents) about choices available to you.

Good Luck.

Kellie,

I lost 120 lbs with the doctors from the Obesity Goodbye clinic in Tijuana, Mexico after having the lap band. I couldn't be happier. Have you read the article from the American Medical Assoc. about curing diabetes with the band surgery?

Check out Obesity Goodbye's web site at Obesity Goodbye Center - Home. My photos before and after are on the Testimonials page. They are wonderful doctors who are willing to help. One of the docs even has a band.
