I have a consult for August 29, 2007. I am sure I am doing this, but would like any suggestions from experienced Banders. Are there any questions I need to ask during my consult?? I feel like I am fairly prepared, but any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lexanne

Hello and welcome!

Go to this forum:

Read all the threads there, there are a couple that have good wuestions to ask.

Thank you so much. That about sums up all of th questions. Some I never would have thought of. My doctor may get annoyed with all of my questions, but for $16,000.00 I am going to make sure I have covered all of my bases. Again thank you faithmd, that really helped.

If your doctor gets annoyed then he might not be the right doctor. My relationship with my lap-band surgeon has become way more important to my success than I ever imagined so it's important to feel comfortable with whomever you select. Plus, it's your body and you have the right to make an educated decision on whether or not this surgery is right for you so he'll understand. Good luck at your consult!

Thanks for your words and OMG LapBandit, you are doing AMAZING, you must be so proud of yourself and you must feel wonderful.
