TRACY, WHEN YOU SAY START PROCESS ON MY OWN???? MY DOCTOR HAS AKED ME IF I HAVE CONSIDERED GASTRIC BYPASS AND I TOLD HER AT ONE POINT I DID , BUT I FEEL IT IS JUST TO DRASTIC OF AN APPROACH. BESIDES MY CUZ HAD IT AND EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS LOST DRASTICALLY, SHE STILL HAS COMPLICATIONS MORE THAN NEED BE. SO, MY QUESTION IS....DO MY PRIMARY PHYSICIAN REFER ME, OR WHAT... I HAVE FOUND A SURGEON THROUGH THE LAP BAND SEMINAR I'VE BEEN TO. I CALLED THE INSURANCE CO AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DONT COVER ANY TYPE OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. I SCHEDULED AN APPT TO MEET WITH THE SURGEON FOR AN EVAL AND IT IS $336.00. MY QUESTIONS IS DO I GO AND PAY OR WAIT FOR A REFERRAL FROM MY PRIMARY PHYSICHIAN. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :help: TRACY AND CONGRATS ON YOUR BAND, MANY MANY WELL WISHES 2 U!

BY THE WAY I HAVE A BMI OF 57, I HOPE I STILL QUALIFY IF I'M APPROVED..WE'LL SEE, THE JOURNEY BEGINS. THANKS FOR THE REPLIES!!
