I have attended the informational session, gotten a referral, done research, and chosen my Dr. BUT my delima is diciding on when to have it, I want to have it ASAP but the holidays are coming up and I don't know if it a good idea, I would like some input please from people who have had the LapBand. I have a LOT of health issue going on right now and last vist to my family physican I had another blood pressure pill added and told I was pre-diabetic. I was recently suppose to under go a scope on my knee due to arthitis and sent home because my BP was too high. ALL of my doctors tell me if I loose weight it would help with my knee pain, BP and depression.

ANY input on wether to have it now or after the holidays is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

congratulations! and best of luck to you! you'll be great!

Thanks, well, last Thursday I spoke with the doctors office and I have my first consult Oct. 10. I'm not sure how long the process will take before I can actually schedule the surgery but I hope I will get to have it before the new year. GOOD LUCK with yours!!!!
