Firstly, thanks for replying. I always get told No! you don' weigh that much..and I always respond yes I do watch and I show them.So, 5k up front? How much total? Sorry your wording was just a tad bit confusing.

A Little Bit About Me: Hi,I'm 24 years old,5'2" and 245 lbs. My BMI is 45. I'm a student and I work 2 days a week in an E.R. as a tech with great ambitions to become a physician. However, if my weight continues to increase I don't see much of a future for myseld. I have been overweight my ENTIRE life,but I seem to "carry it well" as everyone says. I have dieted and exercised off and on to no avail. Lose ten,gain twenty. It's an ongoing cycle. I have hypoglycemia because of my weight and lower back pain constantly. Also, I'm just not comfortable,period. I have been contemplating the Lap-Band surgery for approximately six months now. My concern is I have no insurance. With that being said, I don't even know where to begin to start my journey for my surgery. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Come All! :smile2: Thanks in advance- Erica

Thanks so much for replying. I live in Kenner,LA. I've wanted to become a physician. I'm not sure what type just yet. I love emergency medicine, but I also love the setting of an office. Anyway- So I should just look locally? Are there any places that offer an "all inclusive package" so to speak? (i.e. pre-op,post-op,fills)
