Getting off the insulin pump

I have an insulin pump, which has given me excellent control, but I take a hefty dose of insulin. I heard tonight that my endo will have to help with the pump and I will have to work very closely with her, which makes sense. I am just wondering how that is from anyone who has done it.

    Hello!

    I have not had the surgery yet! My first appointment is 2-14. I have Tricare for insurance and I am so excited they approved Lap-band finally. I am also on an insulin pump and hope to go off after surgery? Have you had the surgery yet? If so how were your sugars? Look forward to chatting with you!!

    Hi Gretchen,

    I have not had the surgery yet. I am hoping for my first appointment in February. I spoke to the surgeon last nigth at a WLS seminar and he said I should talk with my endocrinologist befoer I went on the pre op diet and plan how we will manage the change. It will be a big one because I am very insulin resistant and use a lot of insulin. I am seeing her on the 20th.

    Maybe we can compare notes as we go along.
