Congrats :thumbup:!!

that is great congrats !

No my husband dosent know either , I just give him like a huge number to throw him off

Everyone thank you so much for all your answers and wisdom You guys are so great! I have learned more from this board in a week then researching in a year I called the doctor and informed him that I would like the lapband instead of gastric due to personal reasons and he was supportive. They are going to submit my paper work next week and hopefully everything goes ok

I had my consultation today, it was me and another lady who is also intrested in having surgery , So the doctor is giving us the option of lapband or gastric, he gave the pros and cons on both, He Highly suggested the gastric better bcz it has a higher success rate. I guess the gastric takes a year to go down to the weight you are supposed to and Lapband takes about 2 years. Now I dont know what to do, how did you guys decide the lapband is for you and not gastric. They said I could pick anything and if i changed my mind I can do the other route but we would have to start from step one (approval from insurance) Can I have some guide, I am completly lost now . What a hard choice!

I know you will do great :tt1: Thanks for posting this bcz it is up to us to make it work I have to realize that :tt1:

I am going to a doctor and his consultation is 200.00 is that regular price ? thanks

Thanks everyone :cursing: for the information . We just got bought out by metlife so I need to look into there insurance guidelines but we cant do that until July 1st or when my card arrives

Hi Everyone I am Marisol 29 , I am barley looking into this procedure . I dont get my UHC POS insurance until July 1st and I saw that many of you are experts and nice . I am 234 and only 4ft 11 , I hope I can qualify for this procedure , I am also scared of it though, what finally brought me to this decision is that I got denied for life insurance due to being overweight Hope to make new friends and advisors here :smile2:
