Hi, I'm new to the site. I am a 29 year old female, over 300 pounds, and can't really remember a time in my life when I wasn't overweight...though I know there must have been when I was a child and SUPER active. I decided to join this site so that I could get lots of information about the procedure (I am pretty sure I am going to have it done if possible) and also for support as I go through the process.
I have my initial consultation scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and already know that my insurance doesn't cover the surgery...so any suggestions on what to do would be GREATLY appreciated.
My mom and brother work with a lady who had the procedure 2 years ago, she went to Mexico to have it done because it cost a LOT less there, but ran into problems with finding a doctor to do the fills when she got back. They put me in contact with her yesterday and she suggested to me that I start looking at online support sites like this one, so I found lapbandtalk.com.
Any information and suggestions are very welcome, thanks. :grouphug:
