In the middle of April I decided to look into the lap band farther. My mom and i have talked about it before, but it never felt like it was something that I could actually do. I ended up going to a seminar on April 15th at Sky Ridge to see if it was something that was within my reach. I met Dr. Chae and the more i learned about it, the more I really wanted it. Two weeks later I had my consultation appointment and he said I qualify for the surgery and he would really love to do it for me. Then as you ass know... insurance!? They did all the work for me, which was great, but I found out that I was approved, but it would be more expensive out of pocket than if I just paid for it. Well I'm 26 years old! I don't have any money! But my mom and grandma said they would pay for it! How amazing is that. They said I really deserve it and I have done so much for the family that they really wanted to do this for me. Two days later I was in the nutrition class and now I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday the 24th!! I'm so excited but as it gets closer I'm getting nervous. Not about the surgery, but about what to expect after. Some insight into what to expect would be great. There's only so much I can hear from the doctor before I really want to hear it from people that have had it. Please help!
