My primary Physician steered me away other local places and referred me to Dr. Wheeler due to his reputation (even though my doctors associated with another hospital) - its about an hour further then other options but I think it will be worth the driving. I have my final Educational class Tuesday and expect to be set for surgery (Insurance has said yes) late May or June.

My apartment requires several steps to get to, so I am swallowing my pride and letting myself be an inconvience at least for a couple of days and stay with my cousin if I can. I have time to work it out. Thanks everyone.

Thanks all, I will figure out an emergency person somehow.

I am looking to have a lap band done in April, but my big concern is post-op help. The nurse told me that I did not have to have anyone stay with me the first night home, as long as someone was available with a call. Frankly I dont have close friends or available family, should I pay someone to stay with me the first night?:mad:
