Ya, I guess, I was just going with the fact that the poster never came back on to tell anyone how the wife was doing. I have seen stuff like this before on the Weight Watchers board where someone will tell horrorr stories and then they get banned. I know with all surgeries there are risks. One poster said what happened to his wife was not due to the lapband, but due to surgery itself. I know someone who got their tubes tied and got septic due to a tear and leakage. I don't think anyone said she did something wrong. It was just a chance that you take when going under. I am still investigating it all. I am still going to try to lose weight the "right" way and then use this as a last resort. I am going to give myself one year to get it together.

I was thinking a troll to, just to scare everyone here. I am researching the surgery myself and people like this if he is a troll is a very bad person.

I have not yet been to the dr. to try to get approved yet. I called and left a message and I am waiting for them to get back with me to set an appt. How long did it take all of you after your first visit to get approval?

Hi, I am interested in finding out more about lapband. How long does it take insurance companies to approve your surgery and what are the requirements? I am 5'7" tall and weigh 241 lbs. I am 33 years old diagnosed with high cholesteral and I am done having babies. I got my tubes tied last July. Thanks, Lori
