First time post! Thank you for supporting such an informative and inspiriational message board. I know that this the "Holy Grail" of sensitive subjects for so many people and to see strangers opening up to help others encourages me to keep moving forward. I am just beginning my journey and have so much info to sift through and too many questions. I was hoping to get some clarity on a few things. 1. If your insurance requires a 6 month physician supervised diet and exercise program, what does that exactly mean? Does a program like weight watchers count? Is it a prescribed program with special food? Is it a monitored thing where you get weighed in every week at the office? 2. Does hypothyroidism count as a comorbidity? Can that condition eliminate you from a Lap-band program? 3. Do you have a choice where the port is placed? Thanks again! I become more excited as I get closer to my consult date but I also think up so many questions that take hours to research!
