Hi everyone! I am new to the forums.. I could really use some advice before considering lap band surgery. I keep going back & forth, making consultation appts then not going. Its been awhile again and here I am considering it again. I have 3 family members that had it done & had great success. I am worried about qualifying mostly at this point... My bmi is 38 now.. I have Medicare as my primary insurance & I'm hoping I can qualify to have the procedure covered. Also, I am 32... 5'3, 212pds I have been struggling with my weight for years now though... lost & gained it back several times and I am just frustrated a permanent solution sounds so good to me at this point although I know it will still take some work on my part. I just hope it would be the right decision, I was never overweight until around age 24 ..after that and having my daughter the weight started adding on.. & medications I have to take just make it harder to lose the weight or cause weight gain. Anyways.. sorry for rambling..any advice is appreciated
