  1. I live in Oshkosh and am checking into Theda Clark in Neenah for the procedure. Thanks for the update, that helps.
  2. No wieght loss surgery of any kind is covered. Its Network Health Insurance. I live in Oshkosh and am looking at Theda Clark in Neenah so that's where I'm attending the informational seminar at the end of the month. I'll keep at this, thanks.
  3. I'm looking into lapband vs gastric bypass and have my informational seminar scheduled for the end of April. One big drawback is that my insurance will definitely not pay for surgery--it is explicitly prohibited by the HMO. :eek: I've read so many different opinions on this blog but it helps to read them all to get a balanced view. My biggest fear is that the cravings will be untouched by this process. :confused2: As most of you probably know, its not about will power, but the cravings I get for carbs and sweets are overwhelming. I've been to OA and many other support groups and they all mean well, but I think there is something missing. I know they have medications that deal with alcohol and cocaine cravings, so I wonder if they may find one some day that works with the food cravings, something to straighten the brain out and turn off that message. Anyway, I'll keep reading and moving forward. Thanks for being there. :bolt:
