I have seen tv commercials for lap-Band in my area. I so want to be thin again. I am now nearly 64. One yr left til 65 and medicare. I know what it is like to be slender and pretty. I mourn those old 70s pictures of myself. Ok, I know I can't be 30 again but I want to be healthy and normal size. I have no Insurance and can't get any due to Breat Cancer 8yrs ago. Insurance either rejects me or is outrageously high. I have no idea how I can pay for this. I do have excellent credit and practically o balances on all credit cards. But to suddenly go from o balances to $17-$20,000 scares me more than the surgery. My sister is 6yrs older and a total vegan.( Didn't have any surgery) She was obese a few years ago, now looks great at about 140lbs. I can't eat that way. I just am learning about all this. Fills? How will I ever pay for all this? I need to loose 81-91lbs total. Do I qualify weightwise? Lots to learn.:thumbup::drool::thumbup: At least there are free seminars each week. Forums etc.

Fills? What exactly are fills and does it require another surgery anastesia? I think I will have to wait my 13mos for Insurance medicare. I just paid off of all credit card debt and I just don't want 17-20,000 in debt. As for mexico and travel, I can't do that even tho I live in Az. I have 3 dogs I can't leave more than 24hrs with a friend to stop by to check and feed them. So for me, I will get all the info I can and try just eating differently til then. If you have to do 70 [protein 30 carbs, then after surgery only liquids to graduate to foods, I should try that now before I invest so much money and see if I can even do that. And then the two week Protein only? and no food or Water 24hrs before surgery? How does this whole thing work.? I have not been to a seminar yet and know very little of how it all works. I need support before, during, after for this to last the rest of my life.
