I am just starting to research Lapband surgery. I don't want to yell anyone that I'm considering have the surgery. Does anyone else feel this way?

I have appointments for all the testing tomorrow. My prior appointment was cancelled due to snow and ice. I'm kinda of nervous. I have told two more people. One is a work friend that had bypass a few years ago. I know I can trust her and the other is a good friend of mine. So far three people know and the all are very supportive. I wish someone could go with me for the test to keep me company. They told me it would be about a all day thing.

My intake appointment is Wednesday. What can I expect.

If you have your girlie parts you could say you had some cyst on your ovaries and had exploratory surgery. Lol. This is gonna be interesting for me. I too work in an office environment so I too hope to be back at work quickly.

Ok I have group meeting January 7. I am excited. After the meeting they will set up an intake visit. Wish me luck.!!!!!!!!

Skuzzie. Why are you having a second band?What worries me if that the surgery won't work or there will be complication.

Dies anyone know how to get an invite to the social group forums.

Thanks everyone for being there. I have already talked it over with my long term Bf. he doesn't want me to do it but he understands and will support my decision. He is one of those guys that can go work out for two months and drop weight and be cut up with muscle definition. Before kids I was very active and fit. After child #1 I kept on a little weight but I was curvy. Then I started an office job 13 years and another child. The pounds crept up. Then 4 years ago out of no where my youngest child be began to have seizures. Praise god he is seizure free for 4 years now and 2 years without meds. Now is moms turn to take care of her. This has been a long road. But my mind is made up. My insurance covers it and I'm mailing the paperwork off today. Who hoo for me!!!!!

Hello from West Kentucky.

Hello eastern ky. I'm am looking for anyone that is or has gone through Jackson purchase medical to be banded.

Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement.

I have filled out the paperwork. I'm contacting my insurance company tomorrow to see if its covered.

That is exactly how I feel. I have a couple of confidants that I can depend on. But for the most part my girlfriends have very negative things to say. I used to be one of the smallest in the group now I'm one of the largest. We joined ww together and the ones that did not eat right and hardly exercised lost weight. I ate right 90% of the time and walked and went back to Zumba a couple Zumba a couple o times a week in list 18 lbs in a six month time span. Talk about aggravating.
