I am trying to find a Type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump who has had RNY surgery. I currently have a Lap Band that is leaking and need to have a Revsion. Any info on how you handle low blood sugars and exercise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

 Nancy - did you ask on the RNY or revisions boards? Or the Diabetes Forum?

I did post on the Diabetes Forum but not the RNY forum. Will do that now. Just wish I could find someone local. Dr. Ehrlich seems to think I should be able to but I doubt it. Rethinking everything including him and his office staff. Not a happy camper after seeing him last week. I left very upset - no call backs from them, Kevin leaving strange messages - I dont' know how long it will take him to get it together but I left work for a 3:15 appointment, never saw him til 5:15 on my way out the door because I had to leave to take my daughter to dance. Don't know what is going on but he and the staff need a dose of reality and that is how to run an office.

Challenge them on it, Nancy. There's no excuse for being that late for an appointment with no explanation why. Sure, things happen, but it's really poor form to leave you hanging for 2 hours and not tell you what the hell is going on.

Oh I came out of the exam room twice and was told to stand in the hall so he would see me, When I saw him he told me he was trying to get everyone see everyone ahead of me but I then realized people were done that came in after me. I said something to the women at the desk and she said I have no idea what is going on. He is just running from room to room. She looked for my chart and found it laying open on a cabinet and he was just taking charts off the top of the pile and it seems that the next person to be seen was on the bottom of the pile - not that I was in the pile at all. I told the receptionist that maybe she should help direct him as to who was next since I would hear him say so who is next and nobody was replying. It was soo messed up. Like I said I was on my way out and he came out of an exam room and asked me where I was going. I did tell him I was here for that long and needed to leave and we had a quick depressing conversation at the door and I left. Like I said, not sure I am going back. So very disappointed. I sat in the car and actually cried. Not the same old Tim I used to know. So uncaring...
