5.1
The main reason I had my lapband was not because I was fat - which I am, not because I wanted to wear tiny, tiny clothes - which I would love to - but because my diabetes was getting way out of control and with my family history, I knew this was one thing I could possibly manage.
The last time I had my A1C levels checked, after banding, they were almost 8. My doc said lose weight, take more medicine (which I didn't) and exercise.
Just got a call from my new doc a little while - level is 5.1. YES!!! 5.1... Have I lost all my weight? No. Can I wear those teeny tine clothes? No but my diabetes levels are great.
Thank you, thank you band.
