    Showtime next week!

    Good Luck!!!! I am scheduled for next wednesday.
  3. So I went to a seminar for the Lap band and the doctor confused me. He talked about all the WLS available including the Duodenal Switch. He told me that since my BMI was 40.1 that he would do the lap band if I really want it. But then he told me if I want the best results then the duodenal switch. But I don’t know if I want parts of my body cut up, but then I don’t want to get the lap band and not lose any weight. I see so many success stories on here and I want to be one of them. Can some of you please tell me your stories with the lap band and what you went through???? The good and the bad, or if you know any one that has the DS done.
  4. Thank you Cangel!!! That is true. I would like my body to lose it slow. That way it is not in so much shock. I notcied you just got the band. How do you like it? Did you lose the 26.5 pounds before the band or since you get banded?
  5. I have the Anthem as well. How long did the whole process take you?

    Bakersfield??

    Hello all I am from bakersfield. I have not gotten banded yet but I have my first visit with the doctor on friday. I am scared and excited at the same time. I dont know what to expect.
  7. Hello all, I have always been heavy all my life. So I decided to answer one of those 1-800-getthin ads. Has anyone ever been banded by them? If so how did it go? I went for a office visit and everything went so fast. They want to schedule everything so fast. Did anyone else go through this? Also I am so scared to go through with it, but I know I need to? Any advice?
  8. Thank you. Yeah I am stating to find out that I need to find somewhere else to go. Thank you so much for your advice.
  9. I have insurance. They said i shouldnt have to pay anything out of pocket. Did you?
