Looking for Support Groups and Information
Saturday, July 14th, 2007I have been researching Lap Band Surgery for quite some time. My research continually brings me back to PSSC. I still have many questions and would like to talk to others who have had the surgery. Not all of my questions have been answered and like anyone thinking about any sort of surgery I have my hesitations as well.
I am aware of the support group that meets in the Stevens Hospital Cafeteria on the last Tuesday of each month, I am looking for online groups via yahoo or other avenues that I can either chat or post questions to boards since I can’t always make evening meetings.
I am leaning strongly towards the surgery for my health and to spend quality time with my son with out having to watch his activities from the “sidelines”, however, in order to truly make the right decision for myself I am wanting to get more information.
I have my appointments scheduled in the next week with the surgeon, and the nutritionist, so I am taking the necessary steps to move forward.
At the same time I am in the process of working with and collecting medical records for my insurance company. I have time to look at all the information to ensure that this is right for me.
Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
