wordering if it's the right thing for me

Hello everyone! My name is Lynn and I have not had the surgery yet nor have I really gotten started on the process. I came to this site to get a better insight on the process and procedures. I have a sister that had the gastric bypass but I rather have the lap band. I am really looking forward to hearing some of the stories about the surgery, how to get started and to see if it is the right thing for me.

I got started by looking on the internet for a doctor near me. Also it depends if u r a self-pay or ur insurence will pay. My insurence paid but I had to go to all the support groups atleast 6 and testing and spicalest approvles too. But I have heard self-pay ppl dont have to go through all that. Some even get there surgery in a months time. As for my insurence I had to wait 6 months. But it the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Best of luck to u. I hope I helped u out a lil.
