Hello, I actually made an appoinment to get the ball rolling on my surgery! I had to check out what insurance would pay and when I would have to pay my portion. I am really trying to do this without going into debt or using a credit card. If approved it looks like my insurance pays pretty good.

Good-luck 2 u!

Hi Mamacj and welcome to LBT! Good luck to you and I hope everything goes smoothy with the process.

Thanks for the replies, I am so happy to have found the forum, reading others experiences is helpful already!

Most people I know who have had WLS have had the bypass, but I work with two ladies who have had the band and they are doing great. It wasn't to tough to decided on the band after the surgeons seminar on options, it is the choice for me, anyway.
