Hey everyone, My name is Amine and I'm a new person on here and wanted to say hello to everyone!! I'm currently going through the process for getting a lap band. I had my initial consultation last week and it went extremely well. I have my psych evaluation, meet with a nutrionist and get my physical. What do I need to expect for my 3 in 1 appointment?

They scheduled my appointments together for some reason lol. Psyhicatric evaluation, a psychical (haven't had one in a few years lol) and I meet with a nurtionist/dietician. I would rather knock as much as I can and get my stuff submitted!!

Welcome to the forum! You've come to a great site for support, inspiration and knowledge about the Lapband.

Everyone here has had different insurance requirements, so kinda hard to comment on what you have to do. I myself had to do a 6mth suoervised diet, so I had plenty of time to have all the other requirements completed.

Good luck on your LB journey!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
