HI i live in Irvine and just finished my pre-tests. now waiting. how are you??? id love to chat !! hope you are doing well. I hope to get banded by June

Hello all! i know this thread it a bit old! But i am going throught the approval process and live in Irvine. I would love some info, experience anything you would like to share with me! Thanks in advance!

I am going thru the process and i am soooo ready for this. Are the fills painfull?

Hello, I am over 100 lbs over weight and im going through the approval process for the lapband. I think i will be approved but i am very scared. I am researching about the lapband and read about 4 people that have died so far. I also know that if i don't lose the weight, i will could also die too. I would just like anyones opinion. i have hypertension and i am breathless after walking to my car I will be going to my pre tests, and im a bit scared about the endoscopy too. Does it hurt??? Please help...

wow thank you all so much! you all are such a motivation and i appreciate all your feed back.. Glitter G we have a lot in common. Best wishes to you and good luck. Please let me know how your surgery goes!! Again thank you all! <3

hmmm i have united healthcare choice plus and i have $2500 deductible and $4000 out of pocket expense. Does anyone know how this works? My coordinator said they (UHC) would pay for it but they require it to be in a hospital and i would be responsible for the $4000 max

Thank you all so much for your input. I had my endoscopy and just like you guys said, i was asleep and woke up wondering if they had started it yet My ultrasounds found some gallstones and small fibroids and i guess i have to get the gallbladder taken out before the lap band. Im still going throught the process, so im not even sure if i will be approved yet. But im hoping and praying all goes well. @ Foxglove, thank you so much for your 2 cents! I have been going back and forth about this but i do feel the exact same thing. I have an autistic little boy who needs me and i want to be on this earth for as long as i can for him. Yes this is scary but i don't want my obesity to take me away from him. How was everyone's experience? After the surgery? Any pain and discomfort???? lol guess i still am nervous
