i think you should frist find a doctor and then attend one of the seminars that they provide. you have to attend one before you make an appointment typically. the seminars can usually answer all questions about lap band. my doctor does all of the weight loss procedures so he compared all of them it was great. very informative. you may want to look around and ask about good doctors in your area.

i went the doctor today and it looks like insurance will not cover so i will be cash pay. luckily today while i was at the doctor the nurtionist had a cancelation and i got to fill the spot. so now all i have to do is the psych consult wed at 1:30 and i am hoping to do pre op that day and schedule surgery for the week of the 25th. it really hit me today. i am SUPER excited and can't wait for this journey to begin.

thanks for the welcome wishes. they are greatly appreciated! my greatest motivation tool for exercising and eating right is a faithful partner...maybe a parent, best friend, sibling, etc. in my opinion, it is so much easier to exercise and diet in with someone you love to be around. i also feel like i can't cancel on this person if we have a set date and time to exercise...

Hi, I am new to lapband talk. My name is Brittney. I am an overweight young adult who is in the process of getting approved for lap band surgery. Even if I'm not approved through insurance I will still have the surgery. It is not an option. Both my maternal and paternal family genes are obese and the health problems go on for a mile. For me I am hoping this will be life changing in helping me reach my goal weight and maintain a healthy weight for the rest of my life.
