Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Has anyone worked with a type 1 who has a lap-band? I would appreciate any help on this topic. My patient has a pump and she has not had surgery yet. I'm nervous about managing post-op meals, clear/full liquids, progression to solid foods, etc. Thanks! , RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi , Yes, I have a type I pt on insulin pump who had the lap band. She is ~8wks post-op ... She is very comfortable managing her insulin pump according to her dietary intake. -- I will need to get her chart..but maybe this/my pt would be interested in talking with your pt? I will try to respond back quickly to you re: any further questions you have - but today is a crazy day!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 It's funny that this topic came up; because we just evaluated a new patient who has type 1; her BMI is 38 and she wanted the band. My NP thought she should go with the bypass. My question is; isn't it unusual for type 1's to have a aweight issue? The only thought I had was perhaps she is type 2 but so uncontrolled that she is on insulin? Would she still be classified as a type 1 or type 2? REgardless, I'm glad to hear some band patients who are insulin have done well so far. Staci Stone, RD CDNCenter for Obesity SurgeryColumbia University @ Lawrence Hospital Center 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 This particular patient may not do well with the band because she is a huge sweet eater. She does have an endo has tried weight loss in the past. I have not met with her privately yet but will next week so I will get a better feel for her and offer my input. I"m not sure of her oral meds either yet. Staci Stone, RD CDNCenter for Obesity SurgeryColumbia University @ Lawrence Hospital Center We won't tell.
