I have not started my journey yet, or rather I am just taking baby steps. I have to talk to my Dr and get insuirance to approve...yadda yadda yadda... anywho I will be a tight bander, I plan on exercizing because I love to work out but I also know that this is a tool, I will use it to the fulliest of my abilities! I havew 150 lbs to lose and by George I dont want to take 3-4 years to do it! I want it off in a year. I will have my Dr follow my progress but I will let him know that for the part of the time that I am losing weight, I want it tight... now are you going to loosen it eventualy? I guess that question makes since. I mean after you have reached you weight loss goal, will you loosen it to the point your maintaining weight loss and not loosing any more?

So I have made the descision to get a lapband. I have to take the steps and ask my current insurace if they cover it and what the requirements are. I see there are a ton of people on here that have insurance, what is yours? was there any set backs? would you, advise or think about, getting a second insurance to help cover the cost? I have insurence, healthsmart, through my work, but have also considered getting a second plan, indipendant, to help cover the cost incase my plan doesnt cover it. If they dont cover it I am going to need to get one that does. Okay that sounds bad but...OOP is too much to consider. I still hjave student loans and really dont want to take out a loan but may have to if thats my only option. I am looking for possably getting banded in 2010.
