I wish you all the best, Merry Christmas, to you!

December banders are full of JOY,,, clap.gif Congrats for another bander! Mia I started looking into it in May, then actually met with surgeon Aug 4, so the delay for me was extra tests, endoscopy etc, so now that my inners have been viewed and tested I am good to go. It will be the best Christmas ever!

Thank you everyone for well wishes. This is the best Christmas ever!!!!

I've been looking into getting a lap band since October 11th. I thought the process would have been quicker being a self pay. I have a friend who went thru the same process with her insurance, she was approved very quickly and her surgery is December 27th.

I'm very excited!!!

Congrats!!! Very happy for you!! Mine is the 20th also! My journey was surprisingly fast! I had my very first lapband consult on 11/11/2011 (Everyone says it was my lucky day!) and between tests and primary visits its been only a month! I feel like im going to start off the new year with a fresh start. Dancing_wub.gif

That's good news MissMarcie!!!

I'm nervous and excited. Sometimes I think I could have lost the weight myself instead of doing a surgery then other times I say you have spent thousand and thousands worth of dollars and tries. Then I'm nervous that I won't lose the weight in the time I would like to lose. I have a total of 60-65lbs to lose. I would like to have at least 40lbs off by May. I'm also nervous about eating. This surgery will make me make better food choices, at least I hope so because I don't want to get sick.

I'm having the lap band with plication.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
