Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the site and I have my first seminar on the 16th of this month but I have so many question and so nervous!!:frown: I’m hoping that I get all the info I need from the seminar!

But what type of questions did you all ask??

They pretty much spell out the basics. I didn't ask anything but I definitely ask questions here. I find this place much easier to get answers because they have been through it!

Ooh I hope so!! I've been looking online and I'm kind of set on the Lap-band!

I have a 1year son and I need something with a good recovery time and fast hospital stay!

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the site and I have my first seminar on the 16th of this month but I have so many question and so nervous!!:thumbup: I’m hoping that I get all the info I need from the seminar!

But what type of questions did you all ask??

Mine was on 09/17. Some questions were:

- Hospital stay (generally same day or overnight)

- Recovery period - a few days, to a week

- Activity once healed - any kind of exercise, will not harm band or you

- Insurance coverage - call your particular ins co for facts

- How many days off work for appts/classes- approx 9 mandatory committed days.

- % of complications

- Long term medical support? Yes

- Can procedure be undone? Yes, but not recommended. You will go back to pre-surgery state

- Will band make you eat less or right? Not necessarily, it is a tool to assist you. Without disciple you can still overeat if you set your mind to it. Overeating can cause band slippage and other complications.

- What if I feel I can't to this? Then dr. will not do surgery because you are not ready.

That's all of the questions that I can think of that were asked during my info session. You will get a kit with valuable info an a video of testimonies from successful banders. They welcome ALL questions. They will address common fears, so don't be intimidated - ASK ALL YOU WANT!

I have a tentative surgery date of 11/22; awaiting insurance approval which should come through next week! :eek:
