  1. Anybody have any regrets? If not would you do it again
  2. Anybody had or having surgery done by Dr.Miles in birmingham Alabama? If so how was your experiance.
  3. Please don't consider the gastric bypass. My dr. Was talking to me about the gastric sleeve. Never in a million years would I consider having 80% of my stomach removed. With the band it can be reversed. I know of people that have lost over 100 pounds with the lapband. My surgery is Jan 10th..
  4. Oh thanks Juliansmom, that makes me feel a lot better after your post. I sure that I will do fine, but I'm just a big chicken
  5. I've heard that starting Jan 1st 2011, federal blue cross will be doing like all the other insurance companies. You will have to go through the 6 month surpervised diet and the whole nine yards
  6. Can you feel the band inside? I know you can feel thr port
  7. Thanks for your input. Just keep me in your prayers. I'm sheduled for January 10th
  8. My surgery was sheduled for last week, but because of my fear I changed the date till after January. Is it normal to have so many fears? I have read and heard so many horror stories. Will someone please put my mind at ease. How bad is the pain? I'm also afraid of being put to sleep. Thanks for any comments.
