Hi everyone! I'm Susan. I went to the Lap Band Seminar last night at a local hospital, and I am so excited and ready to get started!! I have seriously considered weight loss surgery for about 6 years. I am anxious to get the ball rolling... my goal is to be half the woman I am today... literally. LOL I want a better quality of life... and be able to do more with my kids and not let my weight hold me back. :biggrin:

Thank you very much for the nice welcome! I am so excited. :biggrin: I just called my insurance company to verify benefits, and make sure the surgeon I've chosen is "in-network". He is! WOOT!! Now to get my referral and medical records. I am dying for my first appointment!! :biggrin:

it will all fall into place quickly (l hope)....enjoy...its so funny how the different plans are so different....We meet the surgeon right away and then do all the other class's we have to do...Then they submitt to insurance..lf you get your approval they book you for surgery...no 6 month diet plan..some people have to go for GI series etc...its just so confusing..that coming from someone whos been a nurse for 25 years...lol...Be good...enjoy

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
