Does anyone have HealthNet? I'm waiting for my approval. Surgeon's office sent it in a few days ago. I don't know how difficult they are. Let me know. Thanks. Emily

Hi Dr. Pleatman I'm new and I'm concerned. I'm having my band put on in July, 06. How does slippage occurr and why? Emily

I am scheduled for lap band in July, 06. I'm new to this forum as of today. I need help with some questions. Slippage is the one thing I'm very worried about. Does this mean another surgery? How do you know if the band slips? What happens? Why does slippage occur especially years after surgery. And why does it have to be removed? Why can't the surgeon put another band on? Please help me. I'm very worried and need some information. I am excited but at the same time concerned. Emily

Hi I am new to this. I have no idea if I'm even doing this correctly. I just posted something but I think I was in the wrong place. Not very computer savvy. Anyway, I have not been banded yet. I'm waiting for Insurance approval from Health Net. My surgery is scheduled for July 25th. I'm very nervous. The surgeon who will be peforming the surgery is Dr. Roslin, NY. Came highly recommended. I really need to hear all the positives and negatives. I'm worried about complications. Help!

Hi all, I just joined this forum today. My surgery is scheduled for July 25. I am very nervous and I need to know if there is anyone out there that has had complications. I have only read and heard positives about the surgery. Yesterday, I had to meet with the nutritionist. She spoke about the foods that I will probably never tolerate. Pasta and white meat chicken are the two things that I love. Will I be able to tolerate this at one point after surgery? Help! I need more information. Thanks.
