So, I am abut to have the lap band done and I am so nervous. I live in Houston and was wondering if anyone had any good docs that they suggest. I would also like any suggestions about it all!! Please post anything good or bad. Thanks!!

Hi Ashlee, you should check out the local threads for more info about docs in texas.

Good luck with your banding I'm sure everything will be fine. I was banded at the end of April and I'm doing fine. Look around here on LBT I'm sure you will find loads of information.

Me too! Was just approved yesterday! I am nervous and excited. I am so tired of being FAT, gaining and losing weight, no being able to wear cute clothes, constant injuries from trying to exercise! I am to the point I think I have to do it! I am 40 and this is it... do it now or be fat the rest of my life!

Is your surgey scheduled yet? Do you know how long after your approved?

I am not sure about the time. I still have to go have the ultrasound of the gallblader done and all that good stuff. Hopefully it moves really quick!!
