my surgery place requires that you dont smoke and they do test and they will cancel if its present.

I'm new here also and kinda in the same boat as you. I dont have much support at home but honestly this website is awesome. I've learned so much and feel like i am totally ready for my surgery. You really need to talk to you husband about him being supportive. you can always vent here and know you have lots of people to help you on your journey so keep on posting and keep on reading and dont give up on yourself.

I would start with calling your insurance. they might have a list of specific doctors you can go to and you can get an idea if it is something you can afford. from there the surgeons office might be able to guide you. i haven't been banded yet i'm still in the process of jumping through hoops but i can't wait. good luck with everything!

Hey everyone! i'm looking at getting banded by dr. glascock and was wondering if anyone around has had him as their surgeon and what the cost was. Thanks!

Hey! i'm keeping this pretty much to myself also. My mom is worried about the surgery but thats because she's a mom Good luck with your weight loss and keep us all posted!

Hey all! i've been lurking around here for a while now just reading and taking in all the awesome information you guys have and i wanted to say thank you for helping me make a very informed decision. I was just wondering how open you guys were when it came to telling people about having this done....i have only told 3 people and i feel myself not even wanting to tell anyone else because i dont want get get crap from people,,,people in my life havent' been that supportive of me.
