ump1194 0 Posted May 28, 2008 I was wondering I am considering the surgery I need to lose weight because I need a transplant. And I have tried everything else and at this point my life depends on it. How long can I expect to wait until I can get the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jills_adopting 0 Posted May 28, 2008 I can't answer how long it would take to get the surgery, it depends on if your insurance pays or if you are going to be self-pay. I am self-pay and attended my first seminar at the end of November and have surgery scheduled for June 4th. Insurance has different requirements you must reach before you can have the surgery. I have a transplant, it will be 4 years in August. How far are you from getting a transplant? Good luck to you on your journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ump1194 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Did you get the transplant before or after the surgey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jills_adopting 0 Posted May 28, 2008 I got my transplant before the lap band. I don't have the lap band yet, 1 week from today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
