Had my first visit with the surgeon today.....I live in a community of 85000 so there have not been tons of lap bands here...yet, but the surgeon I saw said he had done around 100. (Is that a pretty good number) He's had to remove one slip and no erosions. I'm having an endoscopy on friday to make sure my esophogus is in good shape (years of bad indijestion) have a pscychological eval on Monday and they are scheduling a treadmill with my cardiologist. I think they will make my submission to insurance when the psych eval is done. I'm excited and less nervous to get this on the road. Will keep you guys posted. I appreciate this site and the support. What a great bunch of people.....I don't feel alone in this.

good luck! I'm sure all will go well.

I think 100 is a very good number...30 or less and I'm saying no thanks...Good luck

I was no. 17 and had no problems
