    My New Beginning

    Hello All: I am new to this site...I have actually been researching the Lap Band and came across this site. I go to the weight loss educational meeting on November 30, 2006 am and VERY nervous, because from there, I will be contacted to get the ball rolling to the Lap Band process. I wanted it about 4-5 months ago, but my insuranse did not cover it. Now for 2007 it does. I refuse to get the gastric and hope this is a better/safer procedure. I am very scared..reading all the complications those have had with not losing weight, or the port flipping, and other scary stuff. I would hate to have this all done for nothing, and then nothing but bad turn out of it. I am 280 pounds, 5'8" and would like to be down to 165 or 155 at lowest...not sure it that will happen. It's scary thinking of surgery and having something put into my body, but I have to do something...I am to the point I dont want to go in public...so neededless to say, I am ready to start a new journey, just hope this all works out for me. If I have this done, it will be in January 2007. Nice to meet you all, I look forward to being part of your family Jennifer

    I also have Blue Cross Blue Shield...I havent had the Lap Band done yet, but was going too, but the gastric was covered and NOT the Lap Band...BUT guess what?? It is covered now in 2007...so I advise you check now to see if it is covered, because they make changes every year....and my Anthem BCBS announced it now covers the band...hope this helps..thanks and good luck!
