Soooo .... I feel I'm destined to stay fat .....
I called about getting information on the lapband surgery for weight loss .... I first called my insurance company to see if it would be covered, they said yes, 100% if its medically necessary. So I called the Hospital/Program that my sister told me about (she works there with the surgeons) They tell me that the DR's haven't even been fully trained on that procedure yet and when they get 3 people lined up for it, they will fly someone in to train the surgeons ..... I'm like ok thanks.
UM HELLO ... Do I honestly want someone doing a procedure on me that hasn't got ANY under their belt??????
I'm looking at another hospital/program, their surgeons have hundreds under their belt .... I may get the nerve to call them later after the techs clear out of here .... we'll see .... one day of disappointment a week is really enough for me ...

Why do you feel you want the lapband? I'm just curious. I had the laproscopic RNY. I'll try to be on Y ahoo later so we can talk about this.
I don't want you discouraged -- surgery or no surgery!!
Monica I love this line by Lin and I am stealing it!

I'm here if you need me!
My insurance won't cover it at all. I would love it. The lap band seems less invasive, but right now, I think I would try anything.
I'm looking at the lapband because I have absolutely NO family support regarding the gastric bypass. they are all totally against it and are more open to the lapband since it is less invasive ...
