  1. How long did it take for you to get approved?

    Bellarose replied to swstacey1977's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    :)Hi Everyone, I just signed up to this site and am seeing my doctor tomorrow to discuss the lap band option for me. I am in Michigan and have health insurance through M-Care. I am fairly certain my decision is made whether to have the surgery or not, but I would like any input from anyone as to the time frame of recovery, any risks that you have experienced through surgery that they mention, as well as recovery time and weight loss. Basically I want any info anyone can give.. Anyone up for a little typing ??? Thanks so much!!!!
