i m planing to get the lap band surgery after i put in for approval. Im waiting on my final testing resuts which will be ready on Jan.22. My BMI is about 44 and I have many health issues to take care of by losing weight. I m prepared for a life change. I first went to start the medical process about June so I hope my pre testing should be ready. Good luck to all.

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

I'm going to move this to the Intro section so people can see it.

thank you for moving me I hope i ll get the hang of this

i am very new to this? i just found this sight looking for information on the band. I am wanting to get it done and have my insurance pay most the cost. How do I even start the process. I know the wait can be some time I don't want get the surgery until May or June so I have much time to do the research and see if this is a right road for me. could anyone give me some insights. thanks:unsure:

Welcome nomers. You need to start researching surgeons. =See who is in your insurance plan and then search the web looking for info about them.

Once you get a small list of acceptable surgeons, you can start going to their seminars. Once you pick one, you schedule a consult and they take it from there.

Hope that helps!
