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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
