  3. I so sorry Peacequeen, I had a very sad moment today at my doctors office, I was approved right away, but I asked and asked if there was any out of packet charges for me and they said no a few times, today they told me I had 2,000 dollars deductible and I am a single mom with a mortgage and I dont have that money, so they offered if another doctor who is never there could dso the surgery, I felt like a child that was not given what was promised and I almost broke in tears, so Dr Vorha saw me and he said no, that there was no issue and that the surgery will be on 11/22, i need to start on Optifast by Monday. Now I am just waiting for the day and hoping there are no bumps.
  4. Can I get a true answer , how do you feel with the lapband, was the weight loss fast or is it dragging?
