i feel the same way. But, September will be here before you know it. I have 2 more weigh ins with the surgeon. i am waiting to take the endoscopy test. I have done everything else.

i have lymphedema in my right leg and i don't wear the compression stocking. i know i should wear it. right now my feet and legs are hurting so bad. I am hoping when i start losing weight my leg will go down. i am like you and i don't wear skirts and dresses. sometimes i do and people just stare. if anyone has had this problem please let us know. i have been wondering the same thing.

@ Loveslady, thanks so much for your help. I have been doing a lot of reading on the internet about the lapband and all the ins and outs. It is helping a lot. I just can't wait to have the surgery and begin the process of trying to learn to eat and drink correctly. Take care and will talk to you again.

i am in my 3 month visits to the surgeon. I was told by the surgeon's office after my last appt. in August as long as i have all my paperwork and visits completed it should only take 2 1/2 weeks for the approval from the insurance company. I have Aetna. Anyone ever have any problems with Aetna?

I am hoping to have my lap band surgery in Sept. I have 2 more dr. appts. I have done my nutritionist and psychologist appts. My dr. has not said anything about the pre-op diet, and also have not been told to lose any weight. i have been trying to practice eating slowly and drinking my liquids slowly and not eating and drinking at the same time which i find very hard. Hopefully everything will go smoothly for the Sept. banders. I can't weight to have it done.

hi also am planning to be banded in sept. I live in New Jersey.
