    Lapband And Pcos

    Thanks Ladybug.. I live in the UK though so dont need health insurance here as all covered on the National Health Service. If I were to go private and pay myself can they turn around after all the evaluations and say no to the surgery after paying all the money to them.

    Lapband And Pcos

    Hiya, This is my first post on here so please bear with me. I am 29 years old (30 in Feb) and was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14. I have just recently left an abusive marriage and am now trying to focus on me. I have approached my GP for a referral for the Lap-Band as my BMI is 39.9 and she has put me on yet another medication for 3 months to trial and if this is not successful she has agreed to put me forward to see a surgeon. I currently take Metformin, Dianette, Orlistat (Xenical), and now Reductil, also using Vaniqa for the unsightly excess facial hair. The joys of being a woman. Can anyone tell me what the process is from referral to surgery, ie. appointments with shrinks, nutritionists and so on and how long it took from referral to the surgery date.
