I just had my lap band surgery on April 16th and, like you, have had no complications and am feeling great. Getting a little tired of the liquid diet. My surgeon keeps his patients on liquids for 4 weeks. How is the pureed phase going? I have lost 19 lbs. and looking forward to finally losing weight and keeping it off. Good Luck!!

My BMI was 38, but my insurance covered lapband if you were between 35 and 40 BMI with co-morbidities such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. I had major back surgery and weight loss will help, so my ins co. did cover the surgery. Check with the ins co to find if there is coverage for people with 35- 40 BMI with extenuating circumstances.
