Hello everyone. I had my surgery 10/21 and am feeling great. I have started getting a little hurgury but I'm still haven't gone over my 800 cal my doctor says I should stay at. I went for my first post-op appointment Thursday and I've lost 22 pounds so far. I had some pain in my shoulder as well but it went away about 5 days after surgery. I'm so glad I found this site, it is great to see how everyone else is doing who had their surgery about the same time as me. I wish eveyone good luck!!!:eek:

I went to my PCP at the end of August and she suggested I think about the lapband to get my weight under control. I went home started to do some research about the surgen she suggested and decieded that this is diffenetly what I wanted to do. I started working on the insurance packet they had one there website and then went to my seminar on September 7. I had my surgery on October 21. My insurance did require 6 months doctor supervised diet but I submitted a list of diets I had tried the last couple of years and they took that. I'm suprised by how fast and easy my process was after reading about everyone else issues with insurance. I wish anyone who has to work with their insurance company good luck.
