I just started looking into Lap Band. I have always had trouble with my weight. I am about to be 29 in a few months and I have decided it is time to turn my life around. I have managed to lower my weight slightly (from 289 to 265) but it seems that I am now stuck at 265. My doctor even prescribed me Lasix (to lose water weight). I managed to lose a few lbs with the Lasix so far. I have a follow up appt with my doctor on Aug 16 and I am going to bring up the Lap Band to him then. I called my insurance company already and they have told me that due to my BMI I do qualify for coverage. So as of right now I am just waiting and waiting until Aug 16 rolls around and hopefully my doctor will give me a referral (that is the only way the insurance will approve it).
