Good luck!!!!

Wow congrats!

Congrats!!!!

And how has your experience been? I'm so terrified of the band slipping or having to have a revisions etc

This is all great advice thank you so much! Thursday mr psychiatrist will give me the ok to move forward with process or not. I think I will push for the sleeve! How was your recovery time?

I appreciate it! All of your thoughts made sense to me!

That's what I'm also thinking is I need a permanent situation. I have started to read about all the revisions etc and that scares me to Death!

So psych put me on trazadone at night and Zoloft during day. Haven't discussed meeting the other psych for the evaluation for lap Band yet:( guess no one at kaiser will discuss it yet until anxiety under control

So I recently decided to see psychiatrist for anxiety. I have a 1&2 yr old and ever since having them I hd e major anxiety about something bad happening to them. I don't let them out of my sight and I basically plan eveything out of something bad was to happen. Someone break in my house etc. I quickly realized this was extender and am seeking help. Now that I am seeking help with this my referral to bariatrics wasn't declined but says I need to see psychiatrist first . Anyone have any issues like that that stopped them from allowing you to get lap band??

I'll have to look into the magnesium. Where are you ladies from? I'm in ca and things are just getting worse and worse with crime. The dogs are so I feel safer in my home and the kids have to buddies:) yes we should start a anxiety and lap band group!! Hahahaha thank you do much everyone I love the support!

Thank you sooooo much ladies for sharing this all with me. I'm hoping to get my anxiety under control I don't want my kids to not experience things just because I think the world is terrible! praying I can get approved so I can hd e my energy back to run around with my two boys. Also we are adopting in two great danes ! I'm going to need it!

Thank you for sharing that with me.

I just hope I'm not denied surgery becauSe of it!

It does thank you

First does anyone have Kaiser that can tell me The process ? I emailed my dr regarding lap band and she sent a referral to the Bariatric surgery center in Fremont,ca. How long does this process from start to finish usually take? Also can someone explain the difference between realize and lapband. My weight is 235 I'm 5'4" with high cholesterol

They do:)

Hi everyone!!! I emailed my PCP lady night and today she emailed me saying I sent a referral to Fremont bariatric center!!!! Does that mean I skip the 12 week options program I keep reading about??? I'd love to hear everyone's experience and how long it took to get a surgery date??

Anyone have kaiser?? Can you tell me their process
