Here I am home and it is all behind me. I did have a setback due to the fact that I had had 2 other abdomenal surgeries. One staple procedure, and one reversal of the staple procedure. I had alot of scar tissue that meritted the Doc. making a large incision to do my LapBand. THe recovery time is much longer than for the 5 small incisions. I still am truck wreck material, but am so much better. I had a real hassle with the Hospital. Apparantly I am the first one to ever have a cap on my surgery for lap band...mine is to pay 15,000 and that is all. I was told by my drs office that i would be treated in his office as a patient pay, since I had a cap on my insurance. This seemed to cause much confusion as to how the hosp. would charge..The rest of the story remains to be seen.

Physically I am ok. But I do recommend that you know going in that there is a possibility of an Open surgery. It is rough.

I have lost 3 pounds and Doc says by the weekend i should see some major changes.

Blessings to you all.
