Hi Kelsey, I'm Koren... WELCOME! i am not banded yet either but i don't have to go thru six months of stuff tho... Hopefully i will b banded by August (fingers crossed)... so how do u like the site so far?

i totally understand what u mean, today i just told one of my friends, and he basically grilled me and was like ur not willing to put in the work, i kept reassurring him that this will be hard work but he thinks its just the easy way out... so i am not going to discuss anymore with him, if he can't support my decision than so be it, i am not doing it for him, im doing it for myself! plus he dont know what i have been through in my past, and what i am going thru physically right now, so his opinion is automatically kicked away! I have done my research and asked my questions, now all im waiting for is my surgery date, hopefully it will be by august....

Thank you, im just trying to see how long i would probably have to wait til i get the surgery done. I know every state is different so im just gonna see what everybody had gone through.. Thanx again.

:smile:is there any one here that is using medicaid, if u can tell me what are the requirements for to be approved for the lapband surgery?

Hi, my name is Koren, and i am seriously considering getting a lap band, i have been dieting for as long as i can remember. I think my biggest problem will be getting the support i need from my family. I think they are afraid of surgeries, but i am not. Not if it is going to help me in the long run. i know all the complications that come along with it. When i go see my pcp i am going to tell that i want to get the lapband. i am so glad i found this forum for which i can vent with you guys. how is everyone doing so far and what are you stats...:thumbup:
