Now you know how I feel about my lap band! My procedure is a little different from yours, but yes, I wonder why I haven't had this done before! It's going to be a year on March 22 since my surgery, and I have made some great progress over that past year.
Congrats on the 73 pound loss!

My new favorite saying is I LOVE MY RONNIE(my RNY). DH Ron initially thought I was telling him OFTEN how much I love him...til I filled him in. LOL!!!!!!!

Barbccrn and LoriPA has this surgery helped with your Apena? It seems to be doing well for your weight but how has it helped in others and my specific is the Apena.

Barb and Lori, congratulations. I'm beginning the journey to get a lap band. I've spoken to my HMO and they say if it's "medically necessary" they will pay for the surgery. My doctor can tell them that it is. I'm excited, and never thought I would be, because I'm such a chicken when it comes to needles. But I'm going to do this.
Lori, thanks again for your help.

Ozone Rambler...PCP and I are thinking that my pressure of 15 is TOO high and I've been tired lately so we think I'm having central apneas. Matter of fact I'm going for a titration study on Thursday night. We have decreased my pressure to 13 at present time but we'll get the official reading on Thursday. I'm down 93 lbs since my highest weight;87 more til goal. My 19 yo's best friend told me "You lost my girlfriend" I was appalled...OMG...Your 19yo GF weighs 93 lbs?????
