AngelSoftSnow 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Hi Everyone! I'm in the process of getting the Lapband. I have my first appointment with Dr. Lautz in Massachusetts on September 27th. That's the earliest appointment I could get, I've been waiting for a month now, another month and 1/2 to go. Hopefully Dr. Lautz thinks that I would be a good condidate. My PCP thinks so. I have no medical uses other than a thyroid problem and my bmi is 43. I call once a week to see if they have any earlier appointment due to cancellations. Every week they tell me know. I guess everyone wants to be thin! : How is everyone doing? Any comments on your lapband? Rosita Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelSoftSnow 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks! I'm so excited. I really haven't told anyone about it, except my kids. Michael doesn't want me to do it. I think he's afraid that something would happen to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AngelSoftSnow 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Wow, you'll have the surgery that soon after your consultation. I was told that it would be three months after consultation. I'm thinking surgery will be end of December or begining of January 2008. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariaxoxo4u 0 Posted August 11, 2007 HI Angel, Well, I'm not really sure if it will go that quick, but my friend went for her nutritional assessment and got her surgery date in one month and we are going to the same group of surgeons - so I should say I'm HOPING to go in October, but not sure. I still have to wait for all the results of my blood work, cardiac, chest xray etc... to see if I'm even a viable candidate for the surgery, so all in good time!
