Hello everyone, I'm Pickles

I've been lurking here for a while but never posted, so decided to take the plunge! I live in Colorado and am considering the lap band. I attended a gastric bypass seminar several years ago by Dr Snyder I think... but then things got put on the back burner as I got pregnant then breastfeeding and I wouldn't say "forgot" about it, but I did have other things on my mind...

I'm a mom of 3. A 12yr old, a 10yr old and an almost 3yr old.

I'm 5'2 and weigh about 255... :cry My husband is very supportive, and although we have great medical coverage we will be self pay, because my insurance doesn't cover the lapband...

I asked for more information from Dr. Kirshenbaum so now I'm just waiting I guess.

Thats all, hope to get to know you guys and gals more as I continue on this journey

Hi Pickles, I see Dr. Brown in Canon City/Pueblo for my adjustments. I actually live in New Mexico, but just across the border from Durango.
