Lap-Band Site Question

[jktefft 15]

Hi all,

So reviewing all my information I received at various appointments as I prepare to have my surgery this coming Wednesday (jan. 29). In one of the pamphlets, which I believe is from the company that makes the Lap Band, mentions signing up for My Lap-Band Journey at their website lapband.com. It talks about doing this to have access to a bunch of tools, etc. For the life of me I cannot find where to sign up on their website. Has anyone done and can anyone tell me how to?

Sorry, I'm no help with the website, but I wanted to say CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!

congratulations on deciding what to do to help yourself....I no idea of how to link to your site, but as a Bandster you will likely get quite familiar with doing research on the internet.

Cheers on you jouney.

I was told the invite would come after your band is registered with the company.

I believe the company discontinued the My Lap-Band Journey service since there are so many web sites and apps that do a much better job. They made an announcement about this late last year.

I had the same issue.

Since they gave it to you at the Docs. office maybe you should call them and ask , however also tried last Sept 2012 and got no response , so maybe they did go out of business , well I hope someone gets on the ball and updates the information they are handing out, hope you get answers , also this used to be and still is a lapband site , Alex and his staff have just updated the site for all wls, so if you are a bander or another kind ofweight loss patient , then you go to what type of surgery you had and can communicate in that site , hope this might have helped a bit , good luck.

When I had my surgery, I did sign into the Co.'s website...believe me, you're not missing much!!!!

I was banded in Dec and had the same information. Looking for that site led me to this one. I am very happy to have found this forum!! Thank you Alex for starting this!!!

Both Allergan (Lapband) and Realize have discontinued their respective help sites.

[JACKIEO85 308]

Yep, all of the above is true, and Allegan sold to Apollo so they don't even have the LB listed on their site any longer it's listed on the Apollo one though. Just make sure that when you get banded that you get the Make Model # and Know how many CC's ( from your Dr.) your able to have in your band. Other than that I don't think you need the "tools" But you will need a good aftercare support system I hope your Dr's office has one. the LB seems to be 80% AFTERCARE.

Yes, but it no longer exists. That's where I was posting and keeping up with my journey. That's why I'm on here now because they deleted that part of the website.
