Hi, I am brand new as of today so I hope that this response will help you. I also was under 100 lbs (by about 20 lbs) and have insulin resist. and sleep Ap. My insurance started covering lap banding in Jan 2008. It is my understanding that if you band and loose - these 2 medical issues SHOULD go away. That is my hope for me and for all of us. My Dr. wrote a letter to my insurance co and told them of the issues and that she believed that a lap band would be very beneficial to me. They agreed, and I was a happy camper as I have struggled with weight issues my entire life. A little nervous but things have worked out great. Banded on 5/1/08 and have only lost 21 lbs. Not going fast enough for me. But they say slow is best. Hope this has helped. Jenks Now I need to know how you got your questions out there for a response from anyone? What is the procedure? Very new at this sort of thing - threads, blogs, etc. Thanks
