Decisions....band to vsg w/diabetes

Hey OH FAMILY,

I  HAVENT BEEN ON THESE FORUMS IN YEARS. I HAD LAP BAND JAN 09,. LOST 75 POUNDS..GAINED BACK APPROX 20 POUNDS. LOOKING TO REVISE TO THE GASTRIC SLEEVE. I HAVE TYPE 2 DIABETES(GESTATIONAL-PREGNANCY INDUCED) FOR 10 YEARS. IM NON INSULIN DEPENDENT. BUT I REALLY NEED TO LOSE AT LEAST 80-90 POUNDS. LOOKING TO HEAR FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD SUCCESS WITH CONTROLING/ELIMINATING DIABETES WITH THE GASTRIC SLEEVE..THANKS FOR ANY FEDBACK...

Came off insulin 3 months ago after a vsg 10 months before that and 85 pounds lost.  Down from 18 tablets a day to 3, sleep apnoea gone, 20 inches gone from my waist.  Hope to lose another 15 pounds!  Life is good...

Thanks Paul and congratulions on your successes...
