Hi everyone this is my first time posting in a long while. I am still trying to figure out how to navigate the site. I am getting banded in Pennsylvania on Feb 24th, I am scared and excited!! :thumbup: I just want to make sure I do everything right. Any advice from recent banders?

yeah its for diabetic patients and also used to check to see if a patient is diabetic.

a1c test checks you blood sugar for the last 3 months to see if it has been high low or within normal range.

I am on my way to have lap band surgery ....just trying to do all the necessary stuff pre op. I had to get my a1c taken on saturday in order for my insurance to cover it. My question is if my a1c is high will they postpone my procedure until I get it down some?

I have met with the nutritionist twice, the exercise physiologist and had my pychological clearance done as well as went to support group as of last week. I meet again with the nutrionist on may 28th again. But they have me on a 1500 cal diet and eating with baby utensils.

hello everyone I am new to the site. I am a 34 year old female in the process of going through the steps to be banded hopefully soon. I should hear from my insurance in a month or two for approval. Dr. Alan Brader will ber my surgeon out of Lancaster PA:thumbup:
