katlu15545 0 Posted May 3, 2012 Hello everyone, I am new to the process of lapband. My first appt. is tomorrow to find out what all I need to do. I know my insurance requires a 6 month diet and evals. However I'm sure they will tell me everything I need to know on what I need to do tomorrow. I would love to hear how things before and after surgery have went with others. I wished I didn't have to wait so long to have it done, it took me 2 years to make this decision.

Christina2013 18 Posted May 6, 2012 Hello, I am in the same position as you. I have my first appt. Tuesday and I just started (Last Month) my 6 month diet. I am very excited to get the surgery, but I hate the waiting. I have been considering this for about 4 years, I am now ready and willing, but the insurance has put the brakes on! I am so exicted to have found this site and read all the posts from everyone. Glad to hear your story and know I am not the only one in this position Christina Chadwell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
