My mother and I are seriously considering getting the Lap Band surgery. I've done many reasearches and have come to the conclusion that it's right for us. A woman she works with told her today that she got into some sort of program that she got paid to have the surgery done. Apparently it was through some sort of experimenting thing.
Does anyone have any information relating to that?
Secondly, If not, what are the steps to go through to get approved and get the surgery done? She and I both need to have this as soon as possible. I truly think it IS a medical necessity for she and I. Do I ask my doctor to do it? Or what am I supposed to do?
Thank you in advance.
