Congrats to all of you having surgery in April and May...will be thinking good thoughts for all of you. Remember to keep up on here (these lap band forums) there are lots of very wise folks on here and you can ask just about everything. But remember to ask your doctors/their staff for any health issues you are facing first okay!!! God bless!!!

Congrats r due especially as u have the courage to blaze ahead! i want it, iwant it,iwant it but am waiting for inswurance approval.amswiting on medicare and medicaid.does it take a long time? how long? has anyone done this lapbadning as a rivsion surgery and had to have a fully open belly cut? if so, didu stay in the hospital for any length of time?? am post gastirc bypass patient,lost 200 then gained back 100! am ashamed of myself but amgettingover it. oh for a second chance after all i know now what not do! i had no support in 1998,medicare paid for the surgery but not the counsellinga nd support!go figure!
