I have received insurance aproval and have completed all the requirements/tests, etc. for surgery.  I have my second visit with surgeon in two weeks and hope to set a date for surgery.  It has been two years since I first began considering lapband surgery, nad during this time, my anxiety and depression have increased.  Trying to be as informed as I can is my top priority, and I think that information from those who are considering lapband or already have it is the best source of information.  I am scared and hope that I am making the right choice.  What I do know is that I am miserable living/coping with my poor health condition now.
