Congratulations! I am getting banded on Nov 15 n I am si excited as well... GOOD LUCK

Ir Dr can submit an appeal n hopegully that should help u. I have sleep apnea n a BMI of 35 weight 193lbs n 5"1 n they approved me. On the sleep apnea there has to be a certain number i thinks its called an HA something like that mines was at 14 n that it what got me through. I dont have any other medical problem but apnea n overweight

As anyone had an abdominoplasty years before having a lapband surgery? In June 2013 I had an attempted gastric bypass in which the dr was not able to perform due to tightening of the muscles inside. And when they tried to make room with the gas there was not much room to work into my intestines so they had to stop the surgery from going any further, now Oct 2013 i am considering the lapband instead but i just want to know if anyone here has had a tummytuck yrs before a lapband?

They had said the Gastric was posible back in june but then once webwere in surgery the Dr told my husband they couldnt continue because my abdominal area was to tight. So this time he said the Lapband would be a better choicebut I am just nervous to not be able to have doned for the same reason as the Gastric. He had mentioned open surgery with the Gastric but my husband refused do to that it could of had more serious complications and infections
