There does seem to be a lot of RNY's in Febuary.   I would presume because it is one of the most (if not the most) popular wls.   I am having teh Duodenal Switch on the 24th.

Like someone else posted, the RNY & Banding are the most likely to be covered by insurance and of the two RNY makes the most.

So, how was your surgery, hospital stay and how are you doing now?

Surgery was great - no major complications

Only in hospital for 1 night (had trouble with pain management.. ) 

Doing great! 4 days out, 8 lbs down..not hungry yet.. still in the honeymoon phase. I updated my blog about how I'm doing - included a pic of my band as well.

Overall, things were great!

I am getting banded 2-25. I'm so excited. My hair has already started coming out I wonder if its just my nerves. Are you having any anxiety or anything?

Looks like we have the same date  Must be your nerves unless your not eating right.

Check out the Lap band message board under the surgical forums.  It has helped me a lot.  I was banded on 2/5/09 and just moved on to stage 2 foods today (the mushies-finally).   I have lost 16 lbs. since surgery 12 days ago !!!

Good luck !!
