congrats on ur choice to join the Lapband Family. im not sure whats going to happen at ur appt . my first appt with my doc all the did was my weight blood pressure and talked to me about some risk and told me how it was done and ask why i wanted this. i had to fill out a bunch of papers including a letter stating my emotional and physical battle with my weight. after the consultation they gave me a list of thing i had to get done before i could have the surgery which was. BLOOD WORK// UPPER ENDOSCOPY// LETTER OF NECESSITY FROM MY DOCTOR//PHYCOLOGICAL AND NUTRICINAL EVALUATION//AND ALL MY INSURANCE STUFF IN ORDER. that took a few weeks than after that i had my post op class which was just them going over ur blood work results and sitting in a class with other people and them telling u everything thats going to happen step by step answering any and all questions. it was about 2 hours. than 2 weeks later had surgery. the process is actualy pretty fast unless ur insurance company are being lazy lol. but good luck in ur journey and i hope what i wrote was a little helpful

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
