I had been going through the process for the gastric sleeve surgury but have already lost 69 lb on my own so I recently decided to have the lap band instead. My surgery is scheduled to be in late November. My highest weight was 370 lb and I have an arithritic knee that was getting worse by the day. I was having trouble walking so decided I had to do something before I could not work anymore. I have Kaiser insurance and they require a 6 week education program to teach you proper nutrition before and after the procedure. I learned a lot and have done well on my own but still have a long way to go. I am still going to have the lap band surgery because I do not want rebound weight gain as I have had happen so many times in the past.
