Hey guys-

So, like I said, I'm scheduled for my pre-op, in oh, 2 hours. And I'm thinking that I'm not ready for this- I want to do the lapband but I think I want some more time to get ready. Like January. I realize that I haven't really tried to lose weight for awhile and feel that I need to do that first. Am I just being a whimp or what? AGGGH

Thanks

Is this your nerves talking? Don't be nervous this is a wonderful tool. But be realistic with yourself, if you are not 100% ready then wait a little. Everyone is nervous about this , but when it is all said and done the band is great. I wish you luck in your decision, keep us posted.

How did you make out?

One of the things I overheard once at my surgeon's office is that if you're approved by insurance and then don't do the surgery within a specific period of time, that you may have to go through a re-approval process.

I have a feeling you want to wait until January because that's when the holidays are over and you want to "enjoy" them. If that's the case, please think about how much you will be enjoying the holidays if you are losing weight and feeling wonderfully through them.

Let us know how you are, ok?
