    catlov18 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Ok so my name is Stephanie. I am 5' 6" and 250 pounds that puts with a BMI of 40.3. I have been 'Dieting' for years. I have lost some weight before, but I always gain it back and then some. I have varies health problems, and have been told I am in the pre-diabetic stages. My grandmother has diabetes so I am already considered at risk. I really want to lose this weight. I want to be healthy. I am not lazy either. I exercise quite regularly. I think food is the main issue. I really want to be banded, but I dont know were to start. Do I see my regular docter or a surgeon? Will my insurance cover it. Who operates on minors? Please help me!

  2. Wisconsin: Where are you??
