Hello All-

I'm contemplating consultation for lapband. I would really love to hear from anyone who is young(er). I'll be 25 in January and have been overweight my entire life. I do not have a typical sob story of an overweight child, but I imagine so much more for my life and future. I plan on calling my insurance company Tuesday (assuming they're closed tomorrow for Labor Day) to get details on surgery coverage/requirements (my dad is a retired state employee, so if anyone has KY Humana Employee coverage, please shed some light!)

Any and all tips/recommendations would be appreciated as I start this journey!

Hi and welcome. I am much older than you. But with the lap band your insides are not cut or stapled. That is why I went with it. Good luck !

sometimes it's easier to get a start on things by going to seminars in your area. both seminars I attended took insurance info and did the calling for me. you will also get a quick review of all wls. you will be able to ask questions etc. I found my seminars by internet. I wish you luck on this new chapter in your life.
