Dee, Thanks for the feedback. I made an appt. with the doctor for Sept. 20th. I have another question I am wondering if anyone on this forum could answer. I've spent the last couple of days reading blogs of people who have the lap-band and one of them had pictures that show her port now showing through her skin. Does anyone know how common this is? Does anyone know if there are any procedures that will re-locate the port if it starts to show? Has anyone on this forum experienced that?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have read through several pages in this post. I am considering lap-band surgery and found information about Dr. Kirshenbaum on Google. I am borderline qualified I think. My BMI is around 35 but I also suffer from sleep apnea, gastric reflux and am probably borderline Type II at this point. I would like to do something before I get any worse. Did any of you have a BMI that was between 35 and 40 and was it difficult to get accepted? Do you have any advice? Thanks so much. Libby
