I just went for my first visit with my doctor and am scheduled for surgery the end of January permitting the Ins co covers it. Both my husband & I are scheduled. We both have closets and boxes of "thin" clothes waiting for us to get back into. Reading all your posts here, I too am tired of the Women's sizes and their choice of clothes for us. Still shiny, shapeless, polyester blouses with ugly designs on them, and not to mention, not cheap! I can't wait to burn my Lane Bryant card and never go in there again.

My husband and I just went to a seminar last week and the surgeon there mentioned that many people have hiatal hernia's. While performing the lapband, he fixes the hernia which takes typically takes another 15 min, depending on the hernia, etc. I have since heard this is typical of many lapband surgeons. I'm new to this myself and researching and talking to those who I know who have had it. I've scheduled my surgery for the end of January and looking forward to it!
