My surgery is June 23rd. I am still smoking and I like a little caffine. Has anyone smoked after lapband?

Hey girl my date is June 23rd I am trying to stop my caffine and ciggs. Oh yea Im trying to watch what I eat too. One Dr. kept talking about gastric bypass but I think I can Loose enough with the band Im 223 now. Gooduck. Debbie

:smile:HI, I am also on methadone been clean over 2 yrs. My Dr. knows I take Methadone he said he had patients before that was on Methadone. I am a private pay but I would not see why it would matter to the Ins. Good Luck D

Corliss, Thanks for your advice. Goodluck with your next banding. I am scared to death. I really worry I should just do this on my own. I am 5'4" 225lbs. I have had a wt problem all my life. My wt now I feel keeps me from doing alot! and there is also the health issues. So I pray I am making the right choice. My insurance does not pay 1 penny. Thats alot of money approx. 17,500 to be paying for something you are not sure will work. I heard one lady only lost 20lbs. I quess I need encourgement. Thanks, Debbie

Thanks for your reply.
