Hello everyone! I've just found out today my insurance will let me have lapband instead of the full gastric bypass and I'm tickled to death! I wanted lapband from the beginning and was told nooooooo. I'm scared, happy, excited, apprehensive, ..... all that stuffs. I live in Tennessee, and I'm way glad I've found this site to be able to talk with others who have/having this surgery and change of life. I should be having mine about the end of March or beginning of April. I look forward to further reading on this from people who have BEEN THERE or are going there. I don't feel so dern alone! I"m Jayne and glad to meed you all

Congratulations! I hope all goes with your surgery. I had the surgery in October and I am doing really well but it is a huge change, but a change well worth making! Best of luck!

Hello Haunted. Congrats on your insurance approval that really is half the battle.

Good luck your journey!

Congratulations, you will be having your banding done about the same time I have mine done.

Best Wishes

:thumbup:CONGRATS!!!
