....metformin users.....

for those Bandsters now underway to the New Life....what can I expect to see in taking Humulin and Metformin?

Yes, I know the reports that say "83% are off all meds including insulin and blood pressure meds"....

what has been the experience here?

What about CPAP?

and will I be able to play the piano?:guess

...so NO ONE else here is/was Diabetic?

I've been lead to believe WLS will (probably) lead to decreased need for insulin injections......

I didn't reply to your post because I wasn't technically diabetic and I wasn't on insulin. But I have pre-diabetes (insulin resistance). It went away after I lost weight, but if I don't watch my diet (i.e. if I eat sugary or starchy foods) it comes back. So for me, the band helped, but it isn't the whole answer.
