  6. Happy 25th Birthday saraleerod2005!

  7. So I was wanting to know is what are the steps after the seminar if you get approved and you are paying out of pocket. Do you still have to do like the 6 month diet and the physiologist(sp?). On june 14 I have my seminar and just really wanted to know how fast or slow it will be.
  8. I finally called the surgeons office and got singed up for a seminar :)

  9. I have been thinking about getting the Lap Band but dont know which doctor to go to. If there is anybody who had their lap band done in Spokane can you tell me who you when through and what steps you had to go through before getting approved or to even see the surgeons. So far mainly the only ones I see on here is Dr. Bright, Dr. Rawlin, and Dr. Spitz and I dont know which one would be good for me. Any help or advise would be helpful .

  11. I don't know what to do at this point

  12. My name is Sara and I am 24 years old and I have been looking into Lap Band for a two years now and I am really thinking about getting, however, I have medical inc. it is medicaid I dont know if they will pay for the Lap Band and I might have to do financing. I am not a very big girl my wieght is between 225-230 and my BMI is 38-39 and I really dont know if I can get the Lap Band but I am so tired of being over wieght and I have always been a chucky girl while growing up but when I got pregnant with my first child in high school in 2004 some of the wieght that I gained came off but by the time I got pregnant with my son in 2006 I gain a lot of wieght. After my son was born in 2007 I did loss some but I gain it all back plue some more. What got to my breaking point was when I wanted to get pregnant with my third child I could for three years due to my weight so I lost some got pregnant in 2009 6 weeks later I lost that baby I dont know why but it happened but I got so lucky because I got pregnant again 2 months later and when I had her in 2010 I was at my heavies at 230 and I was sad, angery at my self and I really dont like to out no more. I want this for my health and I dont want to get way way over wieght like the rest of my family, I dont want to get all the health problems that comes with being over wieght like the rest of my family. I would love to play with my children without getting so tired. I have already had one knee surgery and I really have to loss a lot of wieght so that I dont have another for the same knee and ther other knee, I have heartburn so bad its not funny, I have a weak bladder due to having kids and of my wieght. Its like I have pain all over the place on my body, so tired, arthritis and I am only 24 its so sad because I know I did this to my self and now its so hard to get it off. I dont know what to do to get started, what it is going to be like, will I get approved with them because I am not very big. I am kinda scared to call because of the fact I dont know what will happen and my family dont think I need this they told me it is a waste of money but I dont think it is as long as I am happy and healthy. If any body can give me some advise I would be so happy.
