Floridays, what a shame you even have to defend yourself! I am new here, and chose this site because of the open, honest, supportive posts. For this procedure, we need to have candor. I'm sure you've helped hundreds if not thousands with your insightful posts. Those rude people just need to put their big girl panties on and face the truth. You are successful and willing to help others. That makes you a wonderful person!

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing!

Best of luck to you both

I work at an elementary school and scheduled my surgery for December 17th. Taking that week and Christmas week off. I'm hoping to be ready to go back the first of the new year. I plan on having great resolutions for 2013!

Hi Becky! Where are you from? Yes, I was told the same thing. I think he is extra cautious. They did say they would bill my insurance for the hernia (Blue Cross will pay for that) then once healed he'd do the lap band. I wish there was a way to really tell beforehand if you had one. There are several things I've read on here from others that are different , like get unfilled for a flight or the flu. He's got an amazing track record, so I'm definitely willing to follow orders. Since I'm self pay I sure don't want any complications that could be avoided! I'm SO, SO excited for all of this. Yeah

That is where I am getting banded on December 17th! I have been to Dr. Davis' seminar and met with him one on one. Wonderful man! I live in Blackfoot and feel so lucky to have such a talented surgeon in the area! Yes, I am self-pay and is still $7,400. It's a great deal for all that is included.

I'm from southeastern Idaho. We live along the Snake River. Beautiful place, especially in the fall.

I'm set for December 17th! Right now I go from eating really bad, since I won't be able to later, to thinking I should already be trying to shrink my liver. I'm trying to learn everything I can.
