My "sedation" didn't knock me out but made me very fuzzy and relaxed. They give you a pain med then a traquilizer, I had issues because I take pain killers all the time for back problems so they didn't fully make me sleep. But the one thing I want you to know is that you won't be able to drive for one whole day and no crunchy or spicy foods after. It wasn't bad at all, you will be just fine. I was just mad I couldn't drive hours later.

I was wondering if you can stop weight loss if you feel you are at your ideal weight, and who decides your ideal weight? How do you maintain a healthy weight? I have never maintained a weight it has always fluxuated with me, alot. Also do they care if you used to be anorexic does that make any difference in there deciding if you are a canidate?

Thank you so much for responding, this is a question my dh has on his mind!

You go girl, I totally feel you!

Hi, I am a 33 year old disabled woman and my BMI is 37% I have GERD, Migraines, IBS, high choleserol, PTSD and more. I am currently looking into this surgery as a hopeful fix to some of my problems. I feel like I'm 66 with all the meds I take, so my question is can you still take alot of medication (pills) when your stomach is the size of your thumb? and does medicare ever pay for a lapband of someone less than 40% that doesn't have diabetes or high blood pressure?Thanks for your time.
