Awaiting approval from Aetna - Lap Band surgery date set for December 17th. Praying all will go well and appreciate this site to come to for support and encouragement,

Hi guys,

What motivated you to have the lap over the sleeve? I have tentative date set for 10 Dec to have the band but still confused and lost. Doctor still think I will do better with the Sleeve and that put me down.

I personally felt lap band is the less invasive of the surgeries, no re-routing or reconnecting of organs. Lap Band may take longer to lose pounds but to me felt safer,

Hello December bandsters! I just was approved last week and my date is set for 12/1! I cannot wait. It's nearly been a year-long journey and I'm ready!

My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet, which I thought was a little strange, but only a 2-day bowel cleanse to clean me out. Then I'll be on liquids for 2 weeks post-op.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you all! I can't wait for it to officially begin!

Good Evening!

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jen, and I'm scheduled to have the lap band w/plication on 12/19. I'm excited about this new journey in my life, but also REALLY nervous that I won't be able to do it. Anyone else, feel this way??

Nahhh, I'm not nervous I'm plunging in head first, I can't wait!! I was scheduled for Dec1st but they called and bumped it up, I'm headed in on Tuesday Nov 22nd! I am so ready, informed and excited for this life changing opportunity! BRING ON THE BAND!!!
