Hello my name is Wanda I'm a 31 yr old mother of 3 c section boys. I have decided that I have had enough with my weight and I having my 1st lap band appt with Dr Dietrick on 1/5/12. I am so nervous I am not sure what to expect or how this will all work out for me. I've read and have been told some horror stories but then again I've seen some success.
I have United Health Care and they do cover the surgery after a 6mth waiting period. What exactly is suppose to happen during those 6 mths?
I'm currently 5'5" 250lbs Waist Size: 20w Bra Size: 40DDD
My Goal: 5'5" (can't change that...lol) 150lbs Waist Size: 10 Bra Size: ???
Having 3 c sections worries me will I have issues with that scar tissue?
Will my back and shoulder pain go away?
I need a breast reduction should I have it before my lap-band or wait?
What about my bat-wings for arms?
and the main concern.... My stomach will I be left with flabby skin & how do I get that lower spare tire to go away?
Any suggestions or help would be great.
