LapbanderNC: When did you have your surgery? Can you give me some details about you experience? I plan on making my first appointment tomorrow and don't know how long the process takes to get a surgery date. I know it depends on the state and Dr. How did you feel afterward? Jenea

I havent started the process yet, mainly for the same reasons. The other evening my 7 year old daughter overheard my husband and I talking about the surgery and she had a fit and started crying. I felt terrible and guilty, this is one reason that I have not called my doctor. Has anyone heard a statistic about anyone not surviving the surgery or complecations from the surgery?

Hi, My name is Jenea, 39 years old. I lost 70lbs three years ago on Atkins and weight watchers, but have gained almost all of it back. I have made the decision to find out more about being banded. I would sure like any advice that you all may offer. I am scared of the surgery, but at this point I am so desperate to do something that will be a long term solution. I am an emotional/binge eater which concerns me also because usually I don't stop when I am full or even start because of hunger, only emotions. Advice anyone? Thank you.
