Thanks so much for all of the good info. I hope all of the bandsters do well, and can cope. Will visit the doc tomorrow, but not real optimistic now. The gas pains, issues around swallowing, etc have pretty much scared me off. I appreciate the responses tho.

I am with you Plumplump; at 65, I am not sure that I want to sustain the restrictions, and post-op. I started the clear liquid diet, and bombed-out due to a tachacardia attack. weird. hope you are doing ok with proceeding per surgery.

I was supposed to have surgery 9/3, but on first day of liquid diet, had a tachacardia attack. drank some caffiene in diet snapple, exercised, and had the attack. Now am scared silly. Cardiologist said sometimes high levels of ketones can cause arrithmyia. see doc friday to ask questions. detest the liguid diet of glycerna and 1cp clear broth. Not sure can handle post op or restrictive food. any comments? feedback, thanks

Possibly 2 to 3 weeks; been in the insurance biz 29 yrs, and my understanding BX stopped approving LB, even on appeal. Possibly your policy has changed since don't write with Bx anymore. Have you called the benefits dept?:thumbup:

Have you done the banding? I am 65 and somewhat concerned although very motivated.

Anyone 65+ that has the banding? Medicare eligible docs in Dallas= Kuhn, Davidson, Kennedy. Experience with these docs? thanks!:sneaky:
