Hello All-

I'm contemplating consultation for lapband. I would really love to hear from anyone who is young(er). I'll be 25 in January and have been overweight my entire life. I do not have a typical sob story of an overweight child, but I imagine so much more for my life and future. I plan on calling my insurance company Tuesday (assuming they're closed tomorrow for Labor Day) to get details on surgery coverage/requirements (my dad is a retired state employee, so if anyone has KY Humana Employee coverage, please shed some light!)

Any and all tips/recommendations would be appreciated as I start this journey!

Hi and welcome. I am much older than you. But with the lap band your insides are not cut or stapled. That is why I went with it. Good luck !

sometimes it's easier to get a start on things by going to seminars in your area. both seminars I attended took insurance info and did the calling for me. you will also get a quick review of all wls. you will be able to ask questions etc. I found my seminars by internet. I wish you luck on this new chapter in your life.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
