Sounds like you got a good doc. Like others have said, keep gathering information so you can make the best informed decision. That said, I had Gastric Bypass, and my diabetes was gone in under month. With the band, the weight loss would have been slower and I feel that it would have taken longer to get rid of the diabetes symptoms.
Good luck either way. Whatever you decide--you're moving in the healthy direction!
