Who is off of their meds since the band? How much did you have to lose to stop your meds?

AFter 25 years of being on several meds for diabetes.....I'm off EVERYTHING! (also off all blood pressure, gout, heart, depression, etc etc etc). I had to start cutting back on my diabetes meds within just a few weeks....kept getting too low....I was completely off within 50 lbs. But I eat no sugars, no starches, keep my carbs below 40-50 most days. I feel so much better it's unreal...part of it is my weight loss but I'm sure part of it is getting all those 'chemicals' out of my system. Hope things go well for you!!!

For ANYONE who is scared of the high Protein, low carb diets who has diabetes should look at this post above mine.

There has been study after study after study done that says that this is the perfect diet and for people who aren't obese, it's a fantastic lifestyle. They give it to cardiac patients and LOTS of others to make their tests where they should be!

On a mildly unrelated note, I'm waiting for my hyperuricemia to go away...oh wait, it's genetic! Ha! Hello chances of gout attacks and kidney stones never going away!

Oh, and Gayle, I'm so happy for you! :thumbdown:

This is wonderful news. I cannot wait to have this done!
