I have juvenile diabetes and have my consult appt on Friday.

I was wondering if anyone has had the surgery (gastric or lapband) and has had any problems pre or post with the diabetes or problems before or after surgery. Everything I have read has only mentioned diabetes in general but has not elaborated on juvenile diabetes. I am currently on an insulin pump and was wondering if the surgery will help me get off the insulin completely or not.
