I can't eat chicken. Baked chicken, chicken salad, chicken w/gravy, grilled chicken, white or dark meat - all 'no'. I can eat ground chicken with no trouble at all. So that's what I eat when I wan chicken. :-)

I am just beginning my journey thinking about lapband.
I have not picked a surgeon or hospital.
I'm beginning my research here...does anyone have any suggestions?

Depends on the individual situation. I had my first consult on June 22 and my surgery date is the 20th of this month. I didn't have to attend a seminar but my insurance did require four months of weight check visits, a psych eval, a few basic tests and a five week wait to see if I was approved.
Some people go in weeks, I've read that it has taken others over a year.

Im dec 4 cant wait

Hi there, well i have my first consulation this friday nov 8,2013. am so sike up . i have done my homework. but let see what the doctor tells me on friday.

I'm so excited I went to the seminar tonight in Zephyrhills Fla. And I have my 1st consultation with doctor on Monday at 3:45. I'm so ready for this to happen. My mom had lapband in 2005 and has lost over 150lbs she looks amazing. I'm wondering how long do you have to wait to have the surgery after doctor consult?

I am really sike up for my first appointment on friday nov 8, 2013.. I have been reading everyone post. doing my homework, i research alot about lapband surgery . I just can't wait for friday to see what the doctor tell me. and by the way anybody from the philadelphia, pa area... thats where i am from.....
