Hello Alexis I have to agree with you I have my good friends but don't think they understand what it is to be me. I'm a newbie just came to the decision that I want to do this. I wish you the best of luck.

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 ?

Thank you everyone I appreciate all your feedback. I love hearing the different stories and opinions helps my anxiety a lot

Thanks for the reply , I'm just at the point were I have made my decision to do wls , I have a couple fears I'm trying to fight but I sure that's normal I'm very patiently waiting for my husband to get his new insurance un Sept so I can go forward.

Thank you

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.

I was wondering if people could tell me why they choose the lapband over the gastric bypass ?

Looking for a buddy near Illinois to help quide me on my journey

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.

Great job ... That is a wonderful story .. very happy for you.

You look awesome ! Great job !!!

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

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 ?
