Hello again everyone thank you so much for your advise, I have done my research my insurance will cover it I just need references from my doctor, and my old physician since birth is also my daughters physician so when I go in for her appt I plan to ask to speak to him and see if he'll also back me up with my current doctor if he agrees. I have researched the actual procedure on the lapband website and watched all the videos and ordered my information kit. I have joined this site to help me get the answers I need and to talk to people who are in my situation. The closest seminar is not within my reach unfortunatly, I would love to go to one though so hopefully one will open up closer to me. I just want this tool to help me, I am sick of dieting and doing all the things I am supposed to do to be healthy have little sucess than gain it back. I want to be around for my children.

Hello everyone I am a 22 year old who has struggled with weight loss my whole life, diets and excercising just have never been enough. I found out about the Lapband on the internet and am so happy that I may have a tool to help me with this. I have a 10 month old little girl and I am currently 150 pounds overweight. I am just starting this journey I have an appointment set for May 3rd to talk to my doctor about this option because for insurance purposes he and my future surgeon will have to sign off on this procedure. Any advice for how I should approach this with him considering this will be the first time I am meeting my new primary care physician?
