Hello...Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 27 yrs old and from the St. Louis area. Trying to get insurance approval for a lap band. Nice to find a place with such great support!!:biggrin1:

Hello. I am also in the "pre lapband" phase. I still have several appts to go to and then the final YES OR NO from my insurance. I have a BMI of 42 and sleep apnea(undiagnosed.) I have a sleep study coming up so I have documentation of it. I hope that this happens. I am 33, a nurse, mom of 2 girls and have struggled with my weight since childhood. It is great to see that others are on the same journey. My highest weight currently is 291...!!!
