I'm not sure about Medicare. I am self pay, not because of insurance but because of the cap on insurance monies to pay for the procedure. Only 50 done last year in a city of 1 million, I'd be waiting for years. So I decided to do it on my own. Have you had yours yet?

No. I have a drs appt on next wednesday the 24th. You? Be right back potty break and i just saw yer post!

im back!

ive been put out for one surgery before, no issues. dont know why i am so nervous bout this one.

Well I'm traveling to a different country and have three small children lol. I shouldn't think the worst but it happens... Who's gonna explain this mystery trip to my kids if something bad happens? Lol I know it's a stretch but that's what I think. When's ur date? Mine is dec3/12:)

So I am meeting with nutritionist and psych on same day this week. I am nervous since I am 1 yr out of an abusive marriage and I was honest about stress and the feeling of depression on the questionnaire. I have never felt any self pitty and I have always tried to remain strong for my 10 yr old daughter. I firmly believe my faith has driven me and the leaving him was the choice for my lil one and I. But now I am.afraid the psych might say lap band is no good for me...someone please advise what the psych eval may consist of...

Hun, My name is Sandy. You might want to start a thread. Copy /paste what you want of that post or just do a new one. Thats yer best bet of getting an answer. I dont know. Ive yet to have mine yet either. You are over 40%, and that should be fine. But its best to ask those that know Good luck Sister! You did the right thing. Tell those drs not to make you regret leavin the bas*ard Sandy

I will attempt to start a new thread.I have come this far and showed proof of 6+ months of weight loss and my advocate said she could have me scheduled as soon as Nov. But I have never spoken with a psychologist and I know leaving him was the best. I have no regrets and I am in a healthy relationship now. I would just Hate to have the doc say no...

I'm getting banded on November 7

Hope you feel better! I am off to Mexico! I am terrible with emailing lol as I use my iPhone all the time as I'm always on the go lol! Ttys:)

Oooh hello!! I'm off to Mexico in a couple weeks!!
