I'm from thomasville that's close greensboro, I will be having my surgery the 1st or 2nd week of June, also found out I will have my gallbladder removed during surgery due to a stone Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

That's awesome!!!

I had been working with a regular doctor for my physical visits for 5 years. do to u have a regular dr so that they can write a letter of recommendation. That's how my insurance worked. Maybe a good idea to have one

Just finished my labs and dr appt next Friday. Insurance approval already, prob June

I am new as well with this app. I love reading everyone's stories. It's nice to know that I'm not going through this alone! Keep the post's coming

I have had quite a journey with my Lapland and now hoping to get revision in June or July. I was banded May 2009 and lost 77 pounds in a year. In May 2011 my port got infected and then two weeks later the band eroded. I have been approved by my insurance to have revision . Just completed all test just two more things b4 my meeting w the dr next Friday! I'm very nervous! Need all the buddies I can get

Yes I had a rough experience with the infection however I miss my band and I'm nervous about the bypass. Let's keep n touch

I am in a similar situation. I had the band in May 2009, in May 2012 the port got infected( had to removed)and the next month the band eroded and it also had to be removed. I am going through all the testing for a gastric in June or possibly July. Support from people isnt too strong due to the previous problems but I have put all my weight back on. I had great success with the band. SW-222 and ENDING WEIGHT 145!! I miss the band, would love to keep in touch I really need a WLS buddy, Dawn
