Hi Everyone! My name is Natalee and i'm from Birmingham, AL. I am 21 and has been over-weight my whole life. I have tried everything you can name and nothing has worked. But when I found out about the Lap-Band I knew it was something for me. So I found this board and was very excited. I would like to say that because of the Board I have gotten all the information that I have needed to start my journey with the Lap-Band. I had my doctors consultation today and now the waiting on the health insurance approval starts. I'm very excited!

Hi Natalie welcome to LBT, im also from the uk hope all goes well for you on your lap band journey !

Hi Natalee, boy do I wish I had the lapband at your age. Its amazing how many years I missed out on being heavy. Good luck to you! Julie

Hi Natalee!

You are so lucky! You get to have a band while you are still YOUNG.

Good Luck with the Insurance company. I hope you get an easy approval, soon.
