Hi I'm Christene from Oregon, I'm a RN and Director of Health Services (cumbersome title) of an Assisted Living Senior Community. I had the Lap-Band in 2011...I have post op insurance horror stories (work switched me from BCBS to Kaiser-they do not support the band AT ALL...so I got told to eat right and exercise-like that has worked for me all those years)...But I am finally getting back into a good mindset and will be switching back to a supportive insurance...and have a treadmill...I am hoping to be able to help others who have been stuck at a non-weight loss point to get back on track.

Wow, I was the last person to post almost a year ago, well its been almost 4 years and I have to get my band removed-the tubing disconnected/broke and is currently poking my diaphram and spleen. I'm pretty sure I wont be getting a revision/sleeve procedure. I have had several years of complications (mostly minor until now). I wonder if any of the nurses that posted before are still doing good with the band.
