Looking for a banding buddy in the Tri-state area 41101, I was banded 6/7/12 and thought it would be easier to have a band buddy to talk to about the process, ups & downs, ect.

Way to go, I'm getting banded June 7th and seeing your post makes me feel like I'm making the right decision, CONGRATS

I am having mine Thursday June 7.

Well thanks for all the input on my first discussion as to When to have the lap band. I have scheduled my first appointment for Oct. 10. What can I expect from here on out? Thanks again you all have been so helpful.

Thanks, well, last Thursday I spoke with the doctors office and I have my first consult Oct. 10. I'm not sure how long the process will take before I can actually schedule the surgery but I hope I will get to have it before the new year. GOOD LUCK with yours!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks EVERYBODY for the replies, I feel so much better about going ahead with it after reading all the comments. You're all right if I don't do it now there will always be another holiday or reason to postpone it and I feel ready now to do it. THANKS!!!!!

I have attended the informational session, gotten a referral, done research, and chosen my Dr. BUT my delima is diciding on when to have it, I want to have it ASAP but the holidays are coming up and I don't know if it a good idea, I would like some input please from people who have had the LapBand. I have a LOT of health issue going on right now and last vist to my family physican I had another blood pressure pill added and told I was pre-diabetic. I was recently suppose to under go a scope on my knee due to arthitis and sent home because my BP was too high. ALL of my doctors tell me if I loose weight it would help with my knee pain, BP and depression. ANY input on wether to have it now or after the holidays is greatly appreciated. THANKS!
