Wasn't really sure where to post this question.. But after having lap band surgery... Was your cycle regular or did you skip a month? Maybe tmi but just curious .. My af is expected a few days after surgery .. Just wondering if I'm going to have to deal with that along with recovery lol

I am hoping to get banded next month in Wilmington, NC but will be moving in January to Beaufort, SC. I am having a hard time trying to find a Dr that will do the fills. I have called Tri-Care and know that i need to switch from North to South and get a referral from my PCM.. which i have no problem with.. I'm just worried there won't be anyone to do my fills since I didn't get the surgery with the Dr. that will be doing the new fills. Anyone move or have any issues with a different Dr./location doing your follow ups and fills that wasn't your initial surgeon? Thanks for your help

Wow awesome!! All of you guys are inspiring

Thank you guys for your responses.. Let's me know that it can be done! And I know it's going to be a lot if wotk but I'm ready and knowing that the lap band isn't a cure for all but a very helpful tool.

I am cleared by the psyc to go ahead with wls ... She had just stated that she doesn't think the Lapband is the right choice because of my goal weight .. I had talked to the surgeon and he said he will do which ever surgery I would like and that I am a good canidate for the lap band ... But he was wanting me to lean towards gastric.

So I just recieved an email from the psych evaluator and she doesn't think the Lapband would be the right choice for me.. Since I would like to lose 100 pounds.. For all of you that have lost 100 or more pounds ... Did you have the lap band or did you do the gastric bypass or sleeve ? I know with all of them it takes a lot of work regardless .. I guess it's just a little dishearting that something I've done research on and that I think would be the best for me is realistically not?

So I am hoping to have the Lapband put in end of September .. Going through the process and I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel .. Last night I had a dream that I had the lap band and was eating a meal.. Protein first .. And apparently I didn't chew enough and felt it getting stuck.. Which is totally weird because I have no idea what that feels like.. But all I know is that I was happy and felt in control of my life ... Is it normal to have lap band dreams? Haha have any of you had them before surgery?

I am in Jacksonville ... Currently in the process .. And seeing a surgeon in Wilmington
