I havent heard of single incision. It must not be lap assisted?

I waited 2weeks, only because i wanted to see my doctor first. But I'm good:) hehehehe

I got the same advice from alot of ppl. I personally did a lot of research and you are doing the #1 safest surgery when it comes to Weight Loss. I was banded on March 1st with no complications, 3 other ladies I know are having it done. We are all doing it kind of together. The worst thing I endured was GAS pain. Dont let anyone talk you out of the best thing you could do for YOU! I hope all will go well for you as it has done for me.

Welcome to the site. I was banded on March 1st, and aslo have BCBS of Alabama. You are doing well girlie, keep up the good work! I also have to learn to slow down eating. The site is a great tool!

I hope its wonderful for you! Did your surgeon say how long it would be before you travel. I am 8days banded and I really want to take trip not far but 3 or 4hours away. Any suggestions on how long I should wait?

Honey, the gas is my only problem. It was everywhere, now it is constant in my shoulder. GasX extra strength has been my best friend!

I agree, find another surgeon that specializes in lap band. I got a couple of opions before my surgey. I dont know anyone that would advise a bypass or tummy tuck over the band! Thats crazy! Good luck in getting banded I think its that best tool!
