My lapband was done on Oct 29th, 09 by Dr. Reich at Southern Ocean County Hospital as of today I've lost a total of 136 lbs. It was the best thing I've ever done!!!!! I feel great!:biggrin:

I'm scheduled for surgery on August 20th. BUT, insurance changed July 1st. Dr's office is assuring me no problem with changes in insurance coverage. One more test to be done the pulmonology, very nervous with this test but no pain no lose.

Good morning to all; I'm looking forward to being outside and not wondering who is making snide remarks and watching me. I love to camp and do garden work BUT, don't do much of anything anymore. I'm so glad I have found these forums, they have helped me make one of the biggest decisions of my life!

Hi everyone; very new, decided last week to look into this procedure. I went to a seminar and now looking forward to my consultation on May 20th. My pcp gave the thumbs up! I want this very badly. I'm 52 yr old and over 100lbs over weight. This site has really made me aware that I'm not the only one. Good Luck to all.

I have my consultation with the surgeon on May 20, 09. My pcp thinks its a great idea, since I've tried almost every diet under the sun. I need to lose in excess of 100 lbs. I just came across this site and I'm hoping someone can give me advise on how to get my family on board. I have not told anyone as of yet. I need my family to support me not sabbatage my hopes of becoming a new and different person. I want to feel confident being around people. I want to be more outgoing and not try to hide and be invisible.
