Hi Sharon and all, I too am considering lap-band. I have been overweight my whole life and currenlty am at 370 lbs and 5'6". I cannot ever remember NOT having to make accomodations for my size. i am SOOOO tired of it all!! i want the 2nd half of my life to not be riding in handicapped carts instead of walking or staying on a bench while everyone else walks to the geyser. My worries are also about stories I've heard of people being very ill for months and years and also about the financing as my unsurance specifically does NOT fund the surgery. What I've been reading here is very encouraging...Suggestions?
