Ok, so I am currently 17, my 18th will be next Wednesday & my current doctor doesn't support the Lap band because she doesn't think it's very safe. But, how do I go about pursuing getting the procedure done. I know you have to do pre-op tests & such. Really, is it a long process to get approved & have a set-up surgery date? Like what's the average, was it hard, smooth, etc.? Please, just let me know about your personal experience. I am not a self-pay btw. My mom told me insurance would cover it.

Yeah, we've discussed it, he said he'll love me no matter my size, he just doesn't want me to lose my ass or boobies. Lol. Of course I've always had those, so I don't think that will be a problem. ;]

Things I will not miss!

-Getting through the bus aisle because my hips are massive
-Not taking pictures with people, especially my bf
-Finding clothes that are my style, but never fit
-Getting dressed in a dressing room
-Walking up the stairs at school & being out of breath by the time I get to class
-Being f'in miserably hot during summer
-Wearing a t-shirt & shorts to go swimming
-Even dreading to wear shorts to go swimming
-Taking so much time to shave my legs
-Not being able to sit in my bf's lap without thinking I'm going to break him....ahaha
-Not being able going to the fair to an amusement park because I can't fit
-Not being able to buy CHEAP clothes at Wal-Mart!!!

Well, I don't live in KY, but I do live in TN. I have not been banded, but I do plan on it after I graduate high school. Both my mom & I plan on getting it done. And my aunt has had the gastric bypass, & she looks great now. But, I am in the same boat you are in in a way. My mom supports it, my friends are like why can't you just lose it the normal way, & my bf wants me to stay this way. Cause he likes me this big. God help him...lol. We have had some pretty heated arguments over it. He thinks I am just doing it to please other people, or that I won't be any happier after, or that it won't do anything. So, I am kinda stuck in the middle I guess. But I am a pretty independent person, so having very few people to support doesn't really bother me because I know it's for the best, & I will be a truly happier & healthier person. I don't need any body's blessing for me to be happy. That's how I look at it. And if you need to talk, I am here to listen. :smile2:
How do I get the ball rolling?
