Check out SWLC. They take a much more human approach. The after care is much better

Went to SWLC as I heard that the most important thing is that the doc have experience. Dr, Cobour has done hundreds and hundreds.

I agree...go with SWLC. Dr. Cobourn is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

The next step in my research - I go for my first consultation tomorrow with Slimband and then one on Friday with SWLC.

I am very excited and anxious at the same time...lol

My husbands insurance doesnt cover wls so I will be self paying. Of course I have all the doubts I am sure most of you had when self paying - such as - am I worth it, is it fair to put us in debt by getting a loan for the surgery, will it work.

Well, I ran into the wife of a co worker today and I remembered she had the lap band put on almost 10 years ago. She is an amazing woman who is slim and so self assured. I told her I was going to the consultation tomorrow and she immediately pulled a picture out of her pocket and said - "this is me at 300 lbs. It was the best thing I ever did"

I told her I was worried about the port being uncomfortable etc and she said, here touch my port. You could feel it through her blouse. She told me that when she first got it , it was about 3 inches under all her fat and now it is fairly close to her skin. She has had absolutely no problems with it.

I was surprised at how small it was. Dont know what size I was imagining it to be - certainly not that small.

So, I will see how I do in the next couple of days because I have decided I am worth it and it will be worth going in debt for 5 years to get my life back.

They are amazing at SWLC. They really seem to care about each patient. The doctor actually sat with me while I was making my decision.

Thank you!!
