City: Littleton State: Colorado | Byetta and Lapband
Has anyone had experience using Byetta with a lap band? While lap band is helping me to eat less,the Byetta controlled my blood sugars and helped me to reduce snacking and browsing. I am thinking of restarting the Byetta that I was taken off before the surgery. Any help or advice would be appreciated

Maintaining protein levels should do it for you. Cut out white carbs, those are what cause blood sugar spikes and hunger. Stick with adequate protein and it will do what you are looking for.

I am glad to see this post! I would like to continue Byetta after surgery as well. It cuts out those hounding "EAT EAT" voices like nothing else. And yes, I am a veteran low carber. :)

I was on 5 meds for diabetes before surgery including Byetta. I had to stop Byetta as it is a time-release medication that is a no-no post op. My diabetes doctor, in addition to my surgeon, discussed meds pre and post op.
I also had to stop metformin 2 days pre op as it interferes with the anesthesia during surgery....since surgery have stopped 2 additional meds for diabetes and cut back on the metformin and reduced Lantus injections from 35 units to 8.
My diabetes doctor had 12 other patients have this surgery and ALL are off meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc.
As you lose weight you blood sugar levels will normalize...I hope to be off all meds in 6 months.....
Just think of the $$$ you save to buy new skinny clothes!
Good Luck!
