You will make it! our anxiety can disguise itself any many ways. If you are determined enough to get to this point the rest will be just fine. My surgery is tomorrow and unlike you I am nervous but its just those last minute what ifs that will drive you crazy if you let it. Keep the faith you won't fail!!!

That's good to hear. I am a vegetarian and was just concerned about protein but I think I will do great I was just wondering if anyone had any great suggestions. They put me on the Atkins diet for 2 weeks preop and it was really hard for me being a vegetarian but I learned How to really watch carbs which will definitely help in the future

Friday! Me too! Are you in Texas by chance?

I will let you know How it goes since my surgery is this Friday. I am going to Turning Points Surgery Center in San Antonio. Are you going through True Results?

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. They are greatly appreciated!

I have aetna and it was 2000 vs 4500 out of pocket

How Did your surgery go? How are you feeling?

Banders not bankers lol

Mine is in San Antonio it was much cheaper. I would love to meet up with some fellow bankers too. I need all the support I can get.

Thanks guys you helped me for now anyways lol. Does anyone attend support groups in Austin?

Any January bankers in the Austin Texas area?

Me too, I am January 25th. I am so excited too. I just pray I don't get the flu like everyone else before my date. Y'all pray for me and Congrats to all the new upcoming bankers. I can't wait to compare success stories!

hello everyone I am so grateful to have have stumbled upon this wonderful support system for lap banders . I have been playing with the idea of weightloss surgery for years now. i recently changed jobs and found out that my insurance covers the lap band surgery, after all is said and done I will only be out of pocket 2000. I am excited. My insurance has a policy of making the patient wait 4 months to have the surgery. I had my first weightloss appt on Monday and I have a tentative surgery date of 01-18-2013. I can't wait!!! I welcome any advice from fellow lap banders . I am doing my best to learn all there is to know. I will be going through True Results. What kind of experiences has everyone had with TrueResults... Or Just lap band surgery all together? What suggestions do you have as far as preparation goes over the next 4 months? For every good experiences how many bad are there? Thanks in advance for everyone's input!!!!

Thanks again everyone... it is so inspiring to hear all the wonderful success stories and thanks for all the wonderful advice. I can't waiting for January. Did True Results make you do a pre-op diet?

Thanks for all the encouraging words.... I will definitely take everyones advice and start eating smaller portions now, so it will be easier later.

I am very new to this journey. I actually just madder up my mind that I want the lap band procedure. I was hoping someone could tell me what to expect. How long does the process take from the individual consultation? I am very excited, and impatient if you can't tell. I appreciate all and any suggestions.

Hello... I was hoping someone could tell me how long the whole process from initial consultation to actual surgery date takes.
