Hello and nice to meet everyone. I haven't even scheduled my surgery get I am just doing research and finding out some general information. I have got approved by my insurance company and just waiting for my appointment with the doctor that will do my surgery. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. How long did it take you guys to have a date for surgery after your first initial appointment? I would love any help or advance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. :crying:

hey Jayna79.. my doctor made me a tentative apt which means you can cancel at any time.. it was done on my first visit.. i already had spoken to my pcp about the lapband.. and i went for most of the test. Always do your research, and pick a doctor that is highly recommended. Remember, you are putting your life in his hands

Thanks for your help I haved talked to my PCP too. She has recommend a doctor for me to see about my surgrey. How are you feeling? I'm excited and scared at the same time.

Good Luck on surgery, I am sure that you have had it done by now.

I haven't had it yet I have a long wait. I made an appointment today with a doctor that does the lab band and the first appointment they had isn't until MAY 6th! So here comes the wait.

hey jayna79 its been almost two months and i'm down 38 pounds.. i feel great, but everyday is a lesson learned lol i wish you very much luck in your surgery... i dont regret it...

Welcome to LBT!

I am glad you are doing so great!!! I'm just waiting for May 6th that is my first appointment..
