Hello everyone -

I have my first appointment with the surgeon (Prof. Lansberg) on the 6th of October. Things are a little diffrent here, once your GP refers you to the surgeon you are pretty much done. So, I could be having surgery sometime in the very near future. I am very nervous about some of the procedures. I am wanting the lap band, but he will tell me what he thinks is best for me. I have been over weight most of my life and am ready for a big change. Just wondering what are good questions for the surgeon?

Thanks,

Heather

Hi and welcome to LBT. Here is a link to our frequently asked questions forum: Pre-Operative Testing - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum This should give you some good ideas of some questions to ask the doctor.

Let us know how things go and which surgery he recommends you go with.

Shalom! Wow, maybe I should immigrate to Israel?? Keep us posted; it's interesting to hear how other countries go about this. I know you must be scared--I am too, but not nearly as close to surgery as you are! Just think: it's a new year and a new you! WHat a way to launch into 5769!

hi, welcome to LBT. best of luck to you.
