Wow Luluc you have done fantastic !! I did attend a seminar ..was not crazy about the doc ...but he did say lap band was ok w/Crohns... However,I didnt' get the feeling he wanted to do it (??) BUT ...I have cried for about the last 3 days when I found out that my new job, with my new insuarance is one big lie .. . My insurance which I was told was great ...comprable to my last ins...if really horrible ! $6000 deductable $0 coinsurance which means nothing is paid until I reach the $6000! I am so upset...not to mention the lap band is totally excluded anyway ..even if I had $6000 I am so upset , the pain in my body from joint pain and my emotions from not being able to get scripts and the amount of work I have is wearing me down... so sorry to vent...you have done great ! Keep it up !

I am so ready to change my life - even though I think I might just make it based on BMI - I hurt so badly and hope that I will be able to get this done.. I have Crohns disease and am so concerned this could be an issue - Im looking to get as much info and advice as possible ... Oh also I am in NW Florida Panhandle ...so if anyone is near there - we don't have too many choices but I would love to find the one that is right ...
