  1. New and trying to figure it all out!!

    misskrista_369 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Hi, I am Krista, 29, from Salem SD. I have been thinking about lapband for a few years but never able to afford it (ins never covered it). But I recently moved here and got a new job and found that my insurance covers it! I have contacted a Dr in Mitchell and one in Sioux Falls and they can get this process going fairly quick! I am just not sure about taking the time off to heal and readjusting my life so fast. I feel like a need a few months to prepare. So I have deceided to read everything I can get my eyes on before I make the life change. I have never had surgery before and I think I am more scared of that than giving up all the foods I love for 6 months ( and some forever). I am aslo nervous about having a good support system! Hope to hear from you soon! Krista:smile:
