Hey there Cherylann. My doctor and searching the website said atleast one month before surgery because it significantly raises the possibility of blood clots. What I have learned so far is a mixed review of this. I also looked at the birth control paper work that comes with the packets and this risk for blood clots is high anyway.

Hey there Pearlygirl. Hope it all goes well for you. I waited 18 months for my surgery. The insurance really played a number on me. Then we got new insurance and two weeks later was scheduled for surgery. Thanks for the info. Where are you having it done?

I asked the Doc today and he said 6 to 8 weeks. I hate that. My birth control did so much more for me than what it is usually used for. The risk for blood clots is still to high he said. Oh well. Just have to wait it out again.

Do any of you have a regular dietian? With my program I paid a lifetime fee. That includes a dietian anytime I need them. Also, are you drinking when you eat? That is a big NO, NO. The food just goes right through as if there was no band. I do not know if that will help you.

Does anyone know how long to wait to restart birth control pills?

Hey there. I was wondering after all this time that has passed for you and others. Do you still eat 2 ounces of food at a time or will that fade away?

Where can one get the PB8? I had my lap band done on March 12 and am regreting every minute of it. Help Please

I really need some help with the lap band. I had it done on March 12th. I am really struggling that I have done the right thing. Now I have developed a rash all over. I have terrible gas cramps and my body twitches all over. Can anyone help with my problems? Maybe easing my mind.
