    Couple questions

    I am scheduled for surgery in the summer and my kids will be home. I am taking a week off work, do you think I can manage two kids and move around or I should re-schedule during the school time. Also, can I travel two weeks after surgery (by car, but I am not gonna be the one who drives). Thank you

    Couple questions

    Thank you, I appreciate all the responses. Part of me if not ALL is terified. I do not know if I can go through this. I was 246 pounds and went through an early preop diet of 1200 calorie low fat diet (rescheduled the surgery date). For my surprise I lost 13 pounds in three weeks. Did not starve or feel pressured. Now I am 233 pounds with BMI of 38. I started rethink the whole Lapband again. All I am thinking right now do I have to go through this? Some how when I read about the complications and the research done on the band it seems like it is not a life time band and eventually everyone needs to replace it with a new band, right? I think for the first time suddenly kicked in the "change of life style and eating habbits" In the past few weeks I cooked almost free fat meals (and tasted delicious), no bread, chocolate or pasta (I am huge bread and chocolate eater) and the best part I do not even crave them. Any suggestion? should I go through the band or give my self a chance? Thanks

  4. Hello, I am in Louisville KY and interested in the Lap band surgery. I need help choosing between Dr.V. Lusco and Dr.J. Allen. Any words of wisdom are really appreciated. Thank you

    Kentucky, "who's your Doctor"

    I need help choosing Dr.V. Lusco or Dr.J. Allen. Both Drs are in my insurance plan and will go for the lapband. Any words of wisdom are really appreciated.
