Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

Just getting started

Well, I am just getting started on my lap-band journey. I haven't even been banded yet. My best friend got the band at the beginning of February, and I have been researching it since then. I knew almost immediately that this is right for me. Unfortunately, my insurance disagrees (employer exclusion). So that puts me in the self-pay category.

The decision to definitely have a lap-band was not nearly as hard for me as the decision to pay for it out of pocket- plunging...

wanna band

My name is Gigi am 23 and going to have the lap band done. I have been over weight for most of my life. I realize at the age of 22 I need to change my life. For most of my life I wanted to be the over weight women with the high self esteem. It was a role I played well but the truth is I know that I was fat, and I know that I need to change my life. I am right now meeting with my doctor. I am hoping to have it done by June. I am scared of getting it done, of having surgery and how my life is going...

Waiting for medicaid to pay

Posted 03-29-2008 at 01:19 PM by Abe

I am waiting for Medicaid to start paying for the lap band so that I can go ahead and go through with it. I think they are going to take their own sweet time about it though, so I guess I am in for a long wait.

Today I am not feeling so well. I feel sick is what I feel. Any ways, I m going back to bed. Just hought I would make my first entry in my blog seeing how I am new and all.
