1 month to go.OMG Iam so scared.
Hi Casey!
I don't know much about the lap band, you might get more answers about that on the lap band board. As for the fear, read the post below yours, we are all in the same boat.
Co-pay rules depend on the surgeon but I would suggest you ask them as soon as possible as that could be a big last moment shock. My surgeon only required I pay the "program fee" of $300 which covered 2-4 weeks of protein shakes and a book, etc.
I am less than 1 week away and one minute I am SO ready, the next minute I am a mess wondering what the hell I am doing this for. It's all normal.
We are here for ya!

Casey,
My Name is Tom and i am a paramedic.
deep breath in thru ur nose and breath out thru ur mouth. several slow deep breaths like this.
now do it with me. in thru ur nose and out thru ur mouth. fell better. I no I do and a bit dizzy.
having second thoughts is only natural. But I have to ask and please dont take this the wrong way.
Have u talked to many pple that have the lap band or wls. How much reseach ahve you done.
Have u exhausted all the post on here?
I have to talked to many pple been to a support group here and talked with several surgeons. and Yes I dont knoweverything about weightloss, BUt the one thing I hear constantly is. " I would do this over a second time or third time, or do this again ina heart beat. NO matter how bad pple feel it is always the same thing . I would do it again comes up.
So that is what I am going with. being overweight is nasty for me that is. so If pple are consistantly saying it is the best thing i have done . that is good for me.
and Yes I have to pay $750.00 next thursday or no cutting. No big deal if i can get my life back.
