So my surgery date is Nov 16th!!!! Can't wait!!! My liquid diet is 2 weeks:(

Yay!!! Thanks!!!

Thank you so much!! I haven't told my RA doctor yet. I'm pretty sure she won't like it though. I'm doing it anyways! I will check into Enbrel!

Well went to my appt. and I will be having the surgery on Nov. 16th!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!! The doctor said I could take my NSAID drugs as well!!!

I'm so excited!!! Yeah my Ins will not cover weight loss???”. So I have to self pay. That's so awesome, glad to hear!!!

Hey guys I noticed some of you we're in my area and I'm having my surgery on Nov 16th by Dr. Adam Smith at Fort Worth Lap-Band!!! So nervous and excited!!

So I will be banded on Nov. 16th!!! Woo Hoo!!! 2 wk liquid diet will be tough, but soooo worth it!!!!

Glad to hear!! I've been reading on it and it says that persons with autoimmune diseases should not get lap-band. I really want to get it though! Are you on medication for your arthritis?

Hey I'm Anna and want to get lap band. I have an appointment tomorrow at Fort Worth Lap-Band here in Texas. My insurance will not cover it, so I will have to finance it my self. I'm 31 and have Rheumatoid and over weight by about 80lbs. I was wondering if anyone here has had RA and had got lap-band?
