  1. I went to lapband.com and they had a step by step process. There is a part where you find a doctor in your area just type in your zipcode and go from there. When I called the Dr. they said I had to go to a seminar first, which is a month away =( Hopefully that site helps you, I know it help me to get the ball rolling.
  2. Thanks so much for replying, I was wondering if you had the chance to of had the surgery sooner would you....for your kids?
  3. Ive been doing a ton of research and have been scheduled for my seminar in November. Im just wondering how long the process will take before I get to actually have the surgery. I know there are a lot of different tests and appt I have to have first but Im so ready to get my healthy life started. Ive done so many different diets and have yo-yoed forever. Also Im really nervous about whether to go with the lapband and have surgery and possibly face complications or possibly be severly unhealthy in like 20 years. My boys are 1 and 3 and I want to be around for them and not just to be sitting on the side lines watching instead of doing, if that makes sense. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it so much. I just need to know Im going to be doing the right thing. Thanks for any replies:)
