I am not on the great white way to weightloss yet but am deeply considering the surgery. I have called my insurance who said they would cover 100 percent of the surgery. So my next step is a consultation and what scares me about this is will the doctor reject me. I have been a dancer all my life and in my prime i was dancing jazz tap ballet and many other things about 10 to 12 hours a week and still went from 280 to 325 in four months and never lost it ever in four years do you think theyll say im not right.

Thank you. Didi they make you do a pre surgery diet and if so how long was it and do they keep you from doing the surgery if you lose weight on the diet.

Exactly what i thlought they would look at thank you very much that helped. I did go to a seminar though i forgot to post that. I do understand from the seminar that the lap band is only a tool to help me reach my goal. That is what ive been discussing with my doctor is that i dont want something thats going to do all of the work for me so i learn my limitations. Because i know i might not want to always have it in the future because i do plan to be a very active person and i was told in some cases you cant do things like leap across a floor or do full situps. So when ive reached my full weight loss goals if i cant do these things without it limiting me i might want to get it removed. If thats allowed i dont know what the circumstances are so. i guess thats why these forums are here.:cursing:
