Nice to meet you! I am a home provider also! I have an assistant at this time, so it would be a good time for me to get the lap done, if I am going to do it. I just can't decide if i can handle it all or not. Last week I had talked to sevearl people about it and I was all gung ho on geting it done. I called the DRs here and the ins lady was supposed to check my ins co and get back with me. I think I'm about to chicken out LOL! I wish I knew someone really well and could spend time with them to just talk about it... I did talk to a lady yesterday that has had it done for three years. She has lost 140, and gained back like 40. Her band slipped and they they would have to do surgery again, but luckily they totally took the fill out and the band went back in place... She told me it is still an up hill battle everyday. This kind of made me down about the whole thing. I have lost a hundred pounds so many times. I just can't keep it off. ughh Thanks for listening.
