  1. What happens when your insurance no longer covers Lap Band??? Does this mean I have to pay out of my own money??? I need an adjustment asap my band feels too tight it has been about a month now and I can not afford to pay $300-$500 for an adjustment. I am looking for a Lap Band doctor near my area in San Bernardino or LA county who may be reasonably priced for cash patients. Thank You

    7 Hours or so Away from Banding

    dont be afraid everything is going to be ok the only thing you should be afraid of is changing your mind that would be a big mistake i was banded on 02/26/09 i arrived at the center at 730am my surgery wasnt scheduled until 930am so i had all that time to think i was sooooooo scared and almost changed my mind but then i thought about how sick i was of seeing myself and feeling tired all the time not doing anything but staying home i didnt want to be seen in public and i stuck it out i did it! the worst thing for me was being put to sleep but now that i know how it is i could do it again dr will give you something for your nerves to relax you and it makes you forget you are scared then put a mask over your face ask you to breath and thats it 1/2 hour later you'll wake up feel a little discomfort when you breath but they can give you medicine for that walk you around and thats it the rest is up to you trust me it sounds worst than what it is i am so glad i did it let me know if there is something else i can help you with good luck dont worry really!!!!

    Esophagus discomfort

    hi i get that alot and i believe that happens when you dont chew your food throughly or you ate something that you shouldnt for example french fries i tried to eat just one and it got stuck and the feeling is like the one you described

    Important Question

    I have another question if you eat too much can you stretch your stomach out? Does anyone know? Thanks
  11. I don't know what it is either during the day i can't eat alot don't even feel that hungry sometimes i have to make myself eat. i do good all day but as soon as night comes i get this ferocious appetite and have to eat. for some odd reason it feels like during the day my band is tighter and at night i can eat more. is that weird or normal :purplebananna:
