I can definately relate to you. I mentioned to my close cousin/bff that I was looking into it and she had the same reaction. and im just thinking, how can she judge me when she told me she was sticking he finger down her throat to lose 30lbs?!? so I don't think I will let any of my family know that I am working towards gettint this surgery. It's sad when we don't have any support. this is no easy way out we will have to workout and still eat right. this is only to help control the amount that we eat. im going to do what is best for me and I think you should consider to do the same.

:smile2: wow! outside that is horrible! I'm hoping that it will go good with my pcp being that he already referred a patient to this hospital. and if not I will ask my surgeon . thanks for your input.

thanks for your help everyone I know feel more confident about bringing it up on tuesday. I do have a hight bmi about 50 and a family history of high blood pressure, so im sur i will be a good canidate. I will update you on how it goes. thanks again!

hello all, last thursday I went to a wls seminar at a local hospital because I have been interested in gettin lapband for the last two years. Now that I am done with school, have a good job and insurance(CIGNA) I can begin this process. so, i made an appointment with a new pcp because one of the girls at the seminar mentioned that he referred her. well, my appointment is on tuesday and I am really nervous about bringing up lapband surgery and wanting to get started with the 6 month physician supervised diet because he doesn't know me. did I mention I have never seen a pcp before and im 24? so I am guessing this process will take forever being that I have no history. sorry, if this is all over the place:rolleyes2: Is there anyone similar to me? I'm just afraid that the pcp will reject me because he doesn't know me and it's too soon.
