I just scheduled lap band surgery for June 30th with Dr. Almanza, now that its scheduled, feeling pretty nervous.

Congrats! Of course you are nervous, but you will do great! Read a lot of the posts here and some blogs. There is a lot of support here!

Congrats! The time will fly and you'll be banded before you know it!

Congratulations and welcome! You'll love the support on here before and afterwards. Work the band, and don't listen to excess "noise". Stay on track with your lifestyle change and exercise. Good luck!

Why would you ever elect to get the band? You'll be having a revision in a few years after it erodes in your esophagus.

I've already changed to the sleeve. I originally scheduled with the band bc I didn't think I would qualify for the sleeve.

I paid half on credit care card and the rest in cash. I saved and used some of my tax return. I'm also a single mom and I needed to do this to feel better physically, mentally, and socially. My doctor charged $9,995 in Dallas, Tx.
