I got it done, went great, no pain so far. Feeling real good. Was in at about 1, and came home about 5.
Very happy and relieved. Best part insurance covered 100%.
How is everyone else doibg?

hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I am 40yrs young, married, have a precious 5yr young son, am a nurse, but my main occupation is my son.
i had looked into the lapband about a yr and a half ago, back then my insurance absolutely didn't covered the procedure. i hadn't looked into this even though we had changed insurances. nice surprise when i looked and found out that this new insurance would cover!!! yeah, my journey began August 2012. Dr. Carcamo and his staff at true results in san antonio helped me all the way into Oct 19,2012, my surgery day. i started at 226lbs, with the pre op and now liquid diet i am now 198lbs. first time in YEARS since i've been out of the 200's.
for now i wouuld like to encourage everyone to keep following your doctor's advice because only patience, time, and hard work will get us through this journey.
Oct 2012 bandsters ROCK!!!!!

Hey, congratulations! That is so awesome! I just got banded and started about same weight as you, so you have inspired me. Lets keep in touch. Im in Dallas area.

I go in tomorrow morning, 10:30am, it will be the first day of the rest of my healthy life. I am surprisingly calm, not worried, just excited.

I got banded today..and I'm not feeling as bad as I thought I would. The pain is very little, and no gas pains so far (knock on wood).

Hi, I got banded too today. Home now. Well got Home at 8pm. They fixed my hernia also. Minimal pain. When I initially woke up omg, holy pain!! Took a few shots of pain meds to control it. Glad you both are doing well. So far I don't have gas pain either! Knock on wood!! I have been getting up and doing some walking. A tiny bit of discomfort in chest but nothing too bad. Can't believe I am on the other side!!

Send me a friend request, I have been successful and banded for 2 years.

Oct 25th

I got approved Friday, got my 2 week diet, have labs and xrays tomorrow, dr. appt thursday, and my surgery on the 25th. Its going quick, but felt like forever before my approval. I am excited. I too was told the diet is to reduce liver size.
