| my diabetes is being cured Just as these articles say, the Lap Band surgery is really working wonders on my diabetes. The surgeon said "no promises," because I am 67 and have had diabetes for almost 18 years. However, I had to reduce the amount of insulin I was taking twice in the first few weeks. Today--two and a half months after surgery--he took me off the before-meals insulin completely, leaving me with just one injection a day of the 24-hour insulin (Lantus). Five fewer stabbings per day! (I was using Byetta as well.) I am so thrilled!
