Thanks for your words of wisdom and support, I have visited my doctor and he said that i should research because he does not know much about the whole process. He said if I felt like it was something I wanted then I should do it. I guess I will talk to insurance co.

Hi from Maryland:unsure: I know I should start this process but for some reason I cn not get started. My brother had it done in November 2007 and he is doing great, has lost close to 60 lbs:smile2:. :embaressed_smile:I need this, I wear a CPAP for sleep apnea, set on 13, I am a diagnosed diabetic, Type 2 for 2 years now, have GERD, High Cholestrol, hypertension, thyroid, suffer from anxiety. I take a pill cocktail in the morning and at night that could choke you. Much of this could probably be taken care of if I were to lose a significant amount of weight. I know it, everybody knows it, I think my insurance would probably take care of it because it would take care of some major morbidities (sp). Anyone else out there from Maryland, have BCBS insurance, how did you get started, who did you call, I did go to a seminar with my brother and I should have done it with him then. Does it appear that I am asking a lot of questions. Any information from lap banders new and old would be appreciated. :sad_smile: I think my brother has lost patience with me because every time he talks to me he asks, "well, have you called anywhere yet?" I would like to tell him yes.
