Hello All, I'm Tyler. I've been lookin into lapband for a few months now and recently found this website! I love it. I haven't had a consultation yet. I work at a shipyard and get two weeks paid off for christmas and planned on having the procedure during that time if it's possible. Plan on looking for a doctor this week and making an appointment, dont know how fast I can get in! Trying to do it young so I can live a long happy life!

Very good that you are thinking in living a long happy life. Get your health in order earlyand enjoy life to the fullest. Depending on your doctor, you will see a dietitian, maybe a psychologist, the doctor and medical tests of blood work, EKG, chest xray or scan, some do sleep disorder tests if you have problems,and it may include an Endoscopy exam. If you check in very soon with the doctor's office they will give you all the paperwork you have to fulfill. All these tests can be done in 2 months if you schedule soon. I had to attend a weight reduction seminar and the a seminar run by the surgeon. These were about 6 weeks apart and required my traveling an hour.

Best wishes and keep the faith. This ius a Great forum with lots of informnation. Please ask away.

I've watched an online seminar for the surgeon in my area. I plan on calling them this week. If i can't do it in December, I'll take a leave of absence from work. The seminar said it'll take about two weeks to recover. I'm sure I'll have plenty of question.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
