Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and would like to know if anyone in this area knows of a doctor that would not charge 2,000 for a seminar fee. I want desperately to have this surgery but I can't afford. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, My name is Terry and I live in Delmar, De. I would love to have the lapband surgery but my insurance company will not pay the 2,000 dollars for the seminar that is required through Delmarva Bariatric. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to pay the money myself as I am not working and we have no extra money. I have two small boys and I want to be around to raise them to men. Also, if I lost the weight I could help pull in some extra income. Does anyone know of any local practice or doctor that does not charge you a lot of money before you have the surgery. My husband has very good insurance and they will pay for the procedure. Any help anyone could give me would certainly be appreciated. :thumbup:

Thanks, I guess I'm just destined to be this way forever.:thumbup:

Thanks, I will call the insurance company and check around for more doctors. Maybe I'll find a miracle.

I'm at my wits end. Sorry, but I want this so bad. I want to be able to ride bikes with my kids and other things that I can't do right now. My boys are 7 and 11 and I don't want them to have a mother who looks this way. I want them to grow up and be proud of who their mother is, not embarrassed. I have been heavy all my life and would just like to be average looking and not have to shop in all plus size stores.
