shanc625 18 Posted July 13, 2012 Hi all, i finally just got approved for lapband surgery after 6 months of a required supervised weight loss program. Excited but also very nervous as this will be my first surgery as well as hospital stay. Looking forward to learning more about your experiences in the coming weeks 2 cmoody821 and DeAna N reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marleneng 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Did they do psychological counseling. I know in my case at least the obesity is linked to depression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
