Hi Everybody,

I live in Athens, Greece and I'm new to the site. I must say that what you are doing here is great. I was planning to have my Lap Band Op next week but I've discovered I have kidney stones and a unirary tract infection. I've been on antibiotics since Friday but I'm not sure if I should postpone the Op.

My insurance will not cover it so I'm paying from my own pocket. I fear to ask the insurance doc for advise just in case they give me some problem with the rest of my coverage. Really silly if you thing that I'm having the surgery to save me from diabetes, heart problems etc. I haven't asked the Lap Band Doc yet because he's away.

I thought I'd ask you guys in case anyone has had similar problems. My sister had hers done on the 16th of July and she says that I might have a problem with drinking all the Water needed to flush away the stone.

I guess everyone responds differently to these things but it would be good to have other opinions too.

Have a great day,

Arsinoe

Hi,

I don't know about your question but I thought someone in America should reply and at least say good luck. I wish you well.

Will

Thank you very much Will for your kind words. I wish you every success in reaching your goals.
