Hi Slimmy
I have to lose around 50kgs, how long ago did you go to your doctor to ask this. My BMI is 42.9. My Dr gave me the refferal but it is still up to the Dr who does the surgery.
As far as i know Medicare covering LAP-BAND® surgery hasnt been aroud that long, but im not to sure. Maybe ask again or so another Dr.
My Dr didnt discuss the lose skin afterwards but im quite aware that im most probably going to have some and gotta tone up as much as i can during weightloss as with the band it is quite rapid.
I hope that answers your questions :)
