just found out I have an under active thyroid, is that going to affeect me getting approved for the lapband with my insurance

what about your insurance?

Could someone explain the fills to me? Every so often you have to get the band tighter?

Hi everyone, I am new to all this and I'm not sure just how to go about it. I have my first doctors apt. tomarrow just to see if I am going to qualify for the surgery. Once you are qualified about how long does it take to actually get scheduled. Do you have to be referred for the mental eval, through the doctor, or can I schedule the evaluation on my own. That way I am one step closer when I do go back to the doctor? Also, Is it required to attend a seminar. The closest one in my area to me is over two hours away. One last question, Is there a certain liguid that is required. Sorry for all the questions, but I am new to this journey and this site has answered alot of questions for me. Judy

Thanks everyone. I was able to do an on-line seminar through the doctor I chose, now I have my psych eval. on Apr. 17, then I finally get to see the doctor. Hopefully this all goes quickly, within a month or two. I would like to be able to swim with my kids in the summer without waiting until it gets dark so the neighbors aren't outside.

April 11,2007 Tomarrow I go to my pcp. I hope that he gives me the go ahead to go see the specialist.
