Sorry for the late replies!!

@ Giselle215

My process for the Lap Band has been over a year or so now. I wanted to have it done last year but I didn’t have enough time to use from work and I just wasn’t emotionally and mentally ready for it. In the past 7 months or so I have been reasearching like crazy and just getting all the info I could get into my big head of mine lol. I started the process in March and I have surgery at the end of May as I stated in my post before. So about 3 months it took me to get approved and ready for surgery next month. I think part of why it was so quick is because it’s the beginning of the year.

I would suggest you get as much information as you can from the seminar and it HELPS a lot and plus the awesome people on here will answer any questions you have regarding anything. I have been going to support groups the past 3 months and I’m not even banded yet but hearing the things from people who are living the banded life helps me a lot and I will soon to join them in a few months! Let me know how everything goes for you and I’m here to help if need anything!

It has been a long process for me to but from appointment to appointment, it didn’t take me long to get approved. I didn’t have to do any surprised diet or anything like that so I’m more less ready to get this over with and start my path to a better healthy life!!

HAHAHA! Me too! I've been researching this for over a year! I finally decided this is the road I need to take. I can't even tell you how many videos I've watched. And I've read everything from the pros to the cons, the good, the bad, and the ugly! But I'm finally ready.

That would be awesome. I would love to do that! There's a girl that does one on YouTube named BandedWendy. She lost a TON of weight. But I'm so technologically stupid I'd never be able to pull it off! LOLOL

Awesome congrats. I am new to this process as well. Just went to surgeon today and was told I will have a three month waiting period per my ins. I have gotten all of my other appts on the calendar. I guess now I am just playing the waiting game.
