I just had mine and got denied a recommendation for lap band surgery so its back to the drawing board for me. I gathered that I just need to try harder. He said something like my emotional/mental and behavioral patterns are a red flag for this surgery. He told me to keep doing what I am doing and focus on more Proteins and less carbs in my diet and we can see where we are in a few months.

Has anyone got rejected by this portion before?

I'm sorry! That has to be tough. The therapist I saw told me during our session that she was recommending me for it or saying I could handle it - however they do their write-up so I wasn't nervous when I left. Did the therapist tell you this or your surgeon?

He told me.

I am still wondering why did I get denied? I thought I would be a good fit because I have pretty good habits; I am just shitty with Portion Control.< /span>

I'm sorry. That stinks. Maybe your surgeon can give you some tips and you can see a different therapist?
