I am in Irvine

HI I am from Orange County California. Seriosuly thinking about having the lap band done in Mexico anyone from OC that would like to schedule our sugery together and go down there together? Dawn

Yes that is probably why I am afraid. Lifestyle change. Like you though I have struggled with my weight a few years out of high school. (never dieted or had a weight problem) I was a cute size 6. Medial problems and meds I have to take plus a low thyroid all have added up through years. I am tried of struggleing too. If I let it go I could easliy get pass 200 pounds. At 5'4" that is not good. My highest was 206. So now I just have to prepare for the financial part of it and paying monthly payments for a while :-( wah! But I guess it won't be so hard to make those payments at a size 2 or 125-130 pounds...right? :-P I will check in with you guys, and keep you posted on my journey.

Thank you for your quick replies. Yes that includes everything and refills for a year.

Hi everyone, I know I want to get the lapband but afraid. Which is wierd because I have had two lipo surgeries and I never felt afraid. My BMI is not "fat" enough for my insurance to pay for it. I have a local doc who does this and is asking $16,000. for everything. Does that sound about right? I live In orange county, California. Would love to hear the pros and cons. If you would do it all over again would you? (honestly) Thank you Dawn:smile2:
