Ok, so I'm just going to my 1st mandatory seminar at Hershey Med Center on August 21st to start the process. I've done an extreme amount of research on the good and bad of having a lap band implanted and have reached my last resort, so any advice from anyone that has gone through this already would be greatly appreciated!

hey how are you? I also attended the seminars in hershey over a year ago. I had my surgery 7 weeks ago and i am happy that i made the ddecision to do so. My surgeon was excellent( dr. Ann rogers) actually she does a session at the seminar. Good luck to you in your quest to find out all that you can about the sugery.

Welcome! I'm from the other end of the state and will be attending my first session in 2 weeks. Good luck~

Did you have any complications after surgery? Can you explain how long you were in the hospital, pain, issues after, and your rate of loss? How logn from the 1st seminar to your surgery date was it? Oh, and how much does the nutritionist sessions cost, do you know? Sorry to bombard you with that, but the nutritionist is the only thing not covered by my insurance (Capital Blue Cross).
