  1. Considering LapBand....Please help? Thank you!

    KGOM posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Hi everyone, My name is Kelly and I'm from Levittown, PA. I'm considering LapBand (and also considering the Gastric Sleeve), and wanted to get your thoughts. If you all have time to let me know what you think of your experience, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I do have a few specific questions: General cost? I know it'll vary, but I have no idea what to expect How soon after the surgery can I go back to work? I know the portions will be small, but I see on some of the boards that people can't eat certain foods - why? I thought you just eat less of what you normally do? Anyone have a recommendation for a Dr. in the Levittown/Langhorne, PA area that they really liked? Thank you all for your time! Kelly
