Has anyone had experience being on an insulin pump and having WLS?

In searching through Q&A and messages, I can't find this issue specifically. I am a Type 1 diabetic (good control) x 36 years and am on insulin pump therapy. I have a consultation with a surgeon set for next week. My PCP and my sis, who is an Internal Medicine physician both have encouraged me to have WLS. I'm looking for anyone who is Type 1 and was on an insulin pump therapy at time of surgery to give me some of their experiences being post-op. Did you have trouble with low blood sugars and if so, how did you treat them since drinking/eating is out of the question. I use Sprite for low blood sugars now. Did you go to the gluco gun for low blood sugars? How was managing insulin? Did you have to make lots of revision to your basal? (Of course, I assume so - but how often?)
