Thinking about the lapband



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is cyndi and i have been thinking about the lapband surgery alot. I have medical problems and this weight needs to come off. But i have a few questions if someone wouldn't mind answering for me. I am suspose to be added to my husbands insurance soon. But in case i am not approved does anyone know how much the surgery is in south carolina? What is the death rate with the surgery and what are the side affects. I have no energy,my feet and legs hurt,i don't sleep well and i feel like miss piggy. Please i need help in sc. Thanks

Your best bet is to go to a (free) seminar! A good surgeon will cover all your questions (and then some) to help you decide! You want that type of info straight from the horse's mouth, not anecdotal! :thumbup:

ANd if you go to one seminar and don't like the doc, go to a different one! Good luck! I LOVE my band; I hope you decide it's right for you too! :(

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
