Thanks oldtimer! I too am on Cpap BUT...other than needing to lose 180 pounds....(lol) and having painful joints.....I have no other health problems. I will do one or the other of those surgeries. I have no choice. I just turned 50 and I don't look nearly that age. I'd like to live a lot longer. I will pray I make the right choice. I will probably go with the adjustable because it seems safer. Ultimately the work is up to me. I just need a jump start. Thanks again.:rolleyes2:

I am all set to have the adjustable lap band on March 17th but now am thinking about the vertical lap band instead. I know several people who haven 't had good results with the adjustable lap band. I know a lot who have had great results from the vertical lap band. My doctor does both. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Have any of you considered the vertical?:rolleyes2:

How do you get the ticker onto this site?

I am scheduled for the lap band on March 17th....St. Patricks Day! I've been reading this forum for a few days and decided it's time to be a part of it. I went to ticker factory and created a graph. Can anyone help????:blushing: I don't know how to import the ticker factory graph onto this site....:wub:!

Omg...you are awesome.

I have just started the process toward getting the lap band. I am so excited about it. Can somebody....anybody....tell me something great to make me even more excited. I'd love to hear from someone who has done well and lost a lot of weight. I know that I will...I am confident that I will stick to this program especially because I'm paying for it. My insurance doesn't cover this procedure. Looking forward to hearing from you. I'm in Shreveport Louisiana.:biggrin:

Gosh, I am so impressed that you have lost 62 pounds in such a short time. How are you feeling and do you feel deprived? I am planning on have the lap band sometime in March. Write back....and good luck!
