I'm so glad I found this site!

I am in the midst of getting my ducks in a row to send in for

insurance approval. I had originally decided on RNY, but after

more research, I've changed my mind and am trying for the LB.

Wish me luck!!

Rose :eek:

Welcome aboard Rose! I was self pay. My insurance would not cover anything about obesity. From what I've heard, it can be a real mixed bag with insurance companies. I hope your approval is one of those that goes quickly and painlessly. Let us hear from you.

Hi Rose, I don't think you will regret going with the lapband. Its a slower process but far less invasive. Good luck with your surgery planning.

Hi there!

I'm a self-payer, so I can't tell you much about the whole insurance process. I am being banded tomorrow! I'm so excited I dont' know if I'll be able to sleep tonight!

I met several people who had "success stories" to share at a lap-band support group last week. One man was totally unrecognizable in his before picture. The changes he made were unbelievable! I think it will be a good choice!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
