Okay I guess to clarify I'm looking for an insurance that will accept me being as overweight as I am and that will also cover the surgery.

Hi guys, I really don't know what to do, the insurance(which I conveniently lost the day after I got my appointment with the surgeon) which I had through my job denied me due to my weight. They told me to try the ca high risk insurance but that would cost me about 300+/month -which being unemployed I don't have. I'm wondering if any of you know of any insurance groups in CA that will except overweight people and cover the lap band procedure. Thanks guys, ~Natasha:rose:

Great group to join if you're looking for answers. I just joined as well and my mind has been set a ease on so many things. Everyone is so informative. Good luck with your surgery!!!

Hi all I don't have a date yet but once I have everything turned in they think I can have it done in December so I'm crossing my fingers

Thanks you guys. I have already found this site to be so helpful. I had some concerns about post surgery but reading through some of the treads eased my mind, and it was nice to see other people concerned with the same things I am.

Hi everyone. I am soo excited to have found this site. I just got the referal from my doctor and the surgeon thinks I can get my surgery done in December-so merry christmas to me :tongue:. So I thought I'd share a little about myself: I've been overweight a great deal of my life but I've never really let it hold me back. I am currently 20 but only for a couple more months(my wish for my 21st birthday is to get in some skinny jeans ). I am a very active person. I love to play soccer-believe it or not I love to run. I also love horse back riding-its my life, I ride just about daily and am on my college equestrian team. I am also a Vet Tech-which is by no means at all a desk job. I'm hoping that I can finally lose the weight for good and not have to go over all those hurdles I face in my daily life because of my weight. So thats pretty much it.
