  1. Where to start?

    nurseman1961 replied to Rockwell40's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    First do your homework. Check your insurance to see what out of pocket expense. I will be having the surgery next month and I am both scared and excited. I researched the lap band as well as the traditional bypass. The lap band is catching on quicker in Europe than here. I decided on the band and I think I made the right decision. The weight loss curve evens for both types of surgeries at 4-5 year mark.
