Hello,

After some problems with Aetna TRS I am now finally approved for a Lapband. My pre op is scheduled 11 July and surgery is 23 July. I am happy but scared. I weigh 245 lbs and 5'2 height. My doctor is Dr Ganta in Austin, Texas. He seems to be very nice and very serious. I am almost 63 years. Are there any of you with this same age and how are you doing. I think I need some support here. I also have severe sleep apnea and use a cpap machine. I am ready, but scared. Thanks y'all.

Lonestar, welcome to LBT

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery, just 17 short days left!!
