I have scheduled my first consultation with the surgeon on July 17th and I'm excited about having some help getting my weight off and KEEPING it off!

Thank you! That is wonderful to hear!!! You are doing really great!!

I have had extreme problems with weight loss! It takes FOREVER for me to get the scales to budge. After 3 weeks I normally get discouraged and give up. Is the Lap-Band going to be the right thing for me? I admit I am impatient, but after going to Curves and playing by the rules for an entire month and not seeing the scales move. I don't think I would say patience was the problem. Any thoughts? Or has anyone on here had the same hypothyroid and metabolic syndrome problem and had the Lap Band?

That is wonderful! I'll probably be able to get off my bp meds as well!! How much did you lose? How long did it take? Thank you for responding!!

That is wonderful news! Thanks so much. I am a self pay so I hope to get my surgery done pretty soon!

Mine cots $14,500 plus $900+ for the camera in my stomach. Don't know what the procedure is called.

Thank you! I was wondering if the port would show.

I am self pay. But don't even get to see my surgeon until July 17th. My cost includes EVERYTHING I am told and fills up to one year.

Keep up the good work!! Look forward to hearing from you again!

Congrats!! And Happy Birthday, too!

Hi Lisa! I have an appointment to visit my surgeon on July 17th. I am a cash patient so I won't have to go through all the steps that most folks do. I will have the test where they put the camera in my stomach and if that is good then I'm good to go for surgery. I'm excited and nervous at the same time!!

Thank you, Lassie!!

That is wonderful!!

I can't wait to join this group AFTER my surgery!! You are a very inspiring group!!

I have my first consultation on the 17th of July! Then I have to have the upper GI. Don't know what else is involved.
