Just wanted to thank you for answering my posts. Your replies helped me with my decision. I was banded 9/16/09 and I am feeling wonderful!!! Sherry

I am scheduled for my lap-band in Sept. Going through the am I doing the right thing questions. I am wondering if yo yo dieting is over. I can lose weight,,,I have just never been able to keep it off. Any information would be most appriciated!!! Thank you, Sherry

Just wanted to let you know that I did it!!!! My surgery was 9/16/09. I feel great!!!! Thank you very much for answering my posts. Your replies really helped me make my decision. Sherry

Just wondering if anyone knows if it matters what size port you have?? Also, I was informed today that my port would be attached with surgical mesh?? She said this method seems to keep the port in place better and less tenderness in the port area. Thanks for your help! Sherry

I have researched,,,,,tried everything to talk myself out of it,,,but I just believe this may be the the way I would be able to keep off the weight!!! I just believe that after I lose the weight this time,,,this tool could help me keep it off. I know I am much healthier/happier at a lower bmi/weight. I know that I should be able to control my weight! I also know that because I can not, it is a disease that controls me. I guess that is why I really want to beat it!!!!

Have you had your surgery? If so, how are you doing so far??

Best of luck!!! I can only imagine how excited and nervous you must be. I will be thinking of you this week. Let me know how you do. I am scheduled for 9/16 and going through what sounds like alot of the same thoughts/fears/hopes. Hang in there, Sherry

Help!!! Just found out that I would have to self pay because I do not have two co-morbidities. LapBand really seems like a great tool. Just looking for info. Fear of something going wrong, however, I want to take the chance. Thanks

How are you doing with your band?? I am on for 9/16, but getting nervous. I am self pay also and probably going to use care credit also.

How are you doing with being banded?? Do you like it so far? I am scheduled for 9/16, nervous. Thanks

I hope you are doing better since you 7/2 release. I have just found out that I would have to self-pay, which I am considering. However, I am wondering if insurance would pay for follow ups after the first year and or emergency and or removal. The Dr office said yes to the follow-ups. The insurance person said she doubted it???? Just wondering if you found out that information???' Trying to come up with my decision. Thanks for your help and best of luck Sherry
