I've been considering the lapband for several years now & have finally decided to pursue it. My doctor is urging me have some kind of bariatric procedure because I have PCOS. I have heard that my insurance, Aetna, is unlikely to approve it, but I am ready to do battle -- I think. I dread the administrative process, but I feel prepared to use the band.

Welcome!

You'll find you have much in common with many folks.

Best of luck to you on your journey.
