Hi guys! I'm from Columbia and going to the informational seminar October 13th. I'm a little scared because my aunt had gastric bypass..and even though her results have been mind blowing, she doesn't look very healthy. Lap band doesn't seem to be so drastic. For those of you who have had the surgery, what did your doctors say about "extra skin" and how to avoid it (if possible)?

Just found this site....this is a whole new thing for me...I always said I wouldn't loose weight with surgery, but I think my mind has changed. I'm pretty sure my insurance will not pay for the surgery no matter what...but I don't want to make that the end of the road on this quest. For those of you who have had the surgery do you pay an amount up front? If not, what are your montly payments like? I'm glad I found a place to vent some of my frustrations!
