Hi everyone Im new to lap band community. Recently, I have taken the choice to get the lap band. Right now I'm getting paper work in place to see if my insurance will approve it. Wish me luck. Now that I been wanting to get the lap band and looking at blogs. I am starting to second guess myself after reading everyone post about the risk of slipping and Erosion of band into stomach and bands leaking. Is that normal to think like that?I know its a small percent that it happens to people with the band. I just thinking long term risk. I know if I dont get the lap band, I am putting my health at risk by being at the weight that I am at. I am tyring to think positive about getting it done but I still have the what if it happens to be after the get the lap band. I also talk to my doctor and it seem like he wasnt liking the lap band even though he assure me that he will do it but he lean towards the gastric bypass. It just gave me mixed feeling. If any one can give me any advice. I just want to make the right choice.

Thanks. That made me feel better. I wanna name my band. Is there any advice you guys can give me about the band on what you came across? Did you guys get the lap band or relaize band?

I wanted to get everyone's feed back on which lap band I should get. My doctor said there is really no differences. So I want to know from you guys which is better. Please help.. thx

I have recently came across a few lap bandster and all need to get there gall bladder out before or even afterwards to get their lap bands. I have appointment next for my dr. to put a camera down to my stomach, so im wondering if thats what they look for gall stones.
