Hi,

My name is Patty Martin. I am having the lap band Sept. 8th and starting to get alittle bit nervous. And going to try and absorb as much info from this wonderful site that I can.

Hi Patty, welcome to LBT!

I remember oh so well the mix of emotions just prior to being banded. It's certainly a roller coaster ride, isn't it?

Here are a few links that will help you be prepared.

thanks for the very warm welcome. I am going to check out those other sites, this one has SO MUCH stuff to look at and read. And I don't know how to do the ticker, I tried going to the site but I am not very good at that sort of stuff, very basic computer knowledge.LOL

Hi Patty-

I'm also in Nevada. I sent you an email to the address you gave me in the pm. You and I have the same doctor. I was curious if you got the email I sent you or maybe it got caught up in your spam folder. Anyways, glad you are here and you will LOVE Dr. Hottie, I mean Dr. Watson.

I also found a yahoo group that is for my area here in nevada, but I think they would welcome all to come and post. I am not getting around to well in this forum, guess it takes time I am so used to yahoo for my horse rescue groups

I bet it got caught up in MY spam folder. I will check on it. Sorry about that.

I am also just learning about this fill part. I didn't know everyone required this. But looks like it is so. Also I have heard that after a year you pay for fills is this also true? If so I was for sure not aware of that.

Well I am a self-pay. And one of the things Dr. Watson includes if you are a self-pay is all your fills and office visits are free for the first year. After that I have to pay for my fills in full. I think they are about 250-300 dollars per fill without insurance.

Can someone tell me on some of the posts it says account suspended? Were they naughty? LOL or just mean?

[foodstampchamp 3]

I think it is a little bit of both. But I dont know the whole story. Seems like it may have been going on for a year or more.
