hello everyone, im really excited about getting the lapband. Im just not sure where to start. I went to my doctor and asked him for him, he stated he thought WLS was "stupid" he let me know, he lost his weight on the southbeach diet, i was po'd! Ive tried the southbeach diet that doesnt work for me,, ive tried so many times, so many different diets ive tried. Anyways i changed doctors just because of that comment. I found a doctor i asked him for help he said he'd help me!!! im so excited. He said bring me the information and ill help you with your 6months diet term.. Im just not sure what i need. What do i need to do when getting started? I went to the seminar in Nashville which is about a 2 hour drive. Do i need to do my 6month diet first or do i need to schudule an appointment with the doctor that is going to do the surgery. Im confused on what to do but i want to get started right away. Im so excited i cant stand it!

Whoa thats fast, I have Cigna insurance i hope its that easy with me but from my understanding ill have to do the 6month dieting. Have you or anyone heard about Dr Dyer? Ive heard he's really good, but i dont know him personal so im still shopping for a surgeon

Thats great you finally got your insurance approval. Man i hope and pray i dont end up having to fight with the insurance company for a year! Good Luck to you also!

Good luck to you! Ive done so much reading on here regarding the surgery and life after the lapband. Im so ready for it. keep me updated, after your surgery let me know how you are doing! im excited for you also!!
