Hello everyone,

I am new to the process of lapband. My first appt. is tomorrow to find out what all I need to do. I know my insurance requires a 6 month diet and evals. However I'm sure they will tell me everything I need to know on what I need to do tomorrow. I would love to hear how things before and after surgery have went with others. I wished I didn't have to wait so long to have it done, it took me 2 years to make this decision.

hi and welcome to this site. i'm not sure if you have specific questions, but if you scower over these threads you will find tons of info. i was obsessed with this site a month before i was banded. you will see positive and negative things on here. my personal experience has had some of both, but coming upon my one year anniversary and meeting my goal of a size 12 in 11 months..i would do it again in a heart beat. feel free to PM me if you have specific questions...or check out my blog on here or on you tube..jennypoo6043.

best wishes to you!

Hello,

I am in the same position as you. I have my first appt. Tuesday and I just started (Last Month) my 6 month diet. I am very excited to get the surgery, but I hate the waiting. I have been considering this for about 4 years, I am now ready and willing, but the insurance has put the brakes on! I am so exicted to have found this site and read all the posts from everyone. Glad to hear your story and know I am not the only one in this position

Hi! I am new to the process too! my first appt is May 18th. I am excited. It's nice to have a place to talk about something we are all going thru together that people in our lifes may not understand
