Hi everybody,

So I'm in my 3 month process of trying to get approved for the lap band. I'll tell you, I started getting very nervous yesterday after getting my upper GI tracked. I started to realize that this is real that I really might get to do this. But then I got scared because in a way I feel as though people will know that I had it done and that it would make me different from other people. But then I started reading this website and realizing how normal life would still be (but healthier) after the lap band surgery.

Well I look forward to talking with everyone further! Have a great day!:teeth_smile:

Hello and welcome to lapbandtalk!

I had surgery on 10/14 and I am so happy I did. Who is your doctor? Mine was done by Dr. Scott Steinberg in Decatur, GA .

Thank you for replying! I have been talking to Dr. Johnson at Atlanta Bariatrics. Do you know anything about him? How was your recovery time? Were you in a lot of pain after the procedure?
