Just sticking my toes in the water before I dive in!

Hello Everyone! You are my heroes. I am giving up on beating myself over the head with "diets, weight loss clubs, medication, etc!" I am a Lap-band Wanna Be! I found out that my insurance company doesn't cover Bariatric Surgery. Or I guess I should say, my husbands company doesn't have that rider-so unless he can persuade them to start, I am a self pay!

I am seriously thinking of heading to Mexico to have Dr. Zapata do the surgery. Anyone with first hand knowledge of his skills as a surgeon? How about follow-up care?

Thanks for being out there for the rest of us "Wanna Be's":thumbup:

Hey there wanna be! I can't answer your question personally, but I'm sure there are a lot of people here that can. I just wanted to pop in and say welcome!
