  1. I haven't even got to the part that I meet the surgeons. I want to get the insurance info together ( I'm waiting for my husbands work to get the info together ) . I don't want to get my heart broken like I tried with my old insurance to only find out my employer excluded any weight loss procedures . Do you recommend any surgeons ?
  2. Thank you everyone I appreciate all your feedback. I love hearing the different stories and opinions helps my anxiety a lot
  3. Thank you , I have been doing a lot of research and I feel for the most part the lapband is the best for me. But I also just want to make sure its the right option for me.
  4. I was wondering if people could tell me why they choose the lapband over the gastric bypass ?
  5. My husband gets our new insurance in Sept , can someone please tell me what questions I need to ask ? I want to make sure I ask all the proper questions.
  6. You look awesome ! Great job !!!
  7. Thank you for the fast replys I have been thinking about this for years and came to the conclusion that this what I need to do to be healthy for my myself and my family
  8. I'm very new haven't even been to the doctor yet about the lapband . What I was wondering is do I need to have my doc refer me to a lapband specialist ? Do I call my insurance first before seeing a doc ? What do I ask the insurance company ?
