I am new to all of this so is it standard that you do 1 to 2 weeks of liquid before the surgery, what else do you have to do before the surgery? I assume there is couneling? work with a dietition? I of course need to find out if my insurance will even cover it, did anyone have issues with that? I have good insurance with the state and hubby has blue cross so I suspect it will be covered

HI I am new here too, just starting to think about surgery, a couple years ago the doc wanted to do the whole by pass, remove most of the stomach, I just couldnt do that, it just went against the grain. I didnt know about or perhaps it was not an option for the lap band, I feel better about that and think it is the way to go, I have not yet even discussed it with my doctor. can you fill me in more so I have info when I go in to talk to her?
