First of all I think it is very difficult to navigate around this site, do you have a facebook? If you do add me as a friend - my name is Mary Bailey, I live in Morganton, NC, and I am a Lees McRae student, mother of 2. If you do add me I will go ahead and tell you not many people know I am looking into this, so... if we communicate about this topic we can do it through messages instead of comments. Anyway, I haven't actually had the surgery or even met with the surgeon yet, I basically just figured out where I will be doing it, at the Hickory Surgical clinic, and now I am waiting for my packet of info... I will be attending one of the seminars this Monday, so... where will you be having your surgery? Well if you do have facebook go ahead and add me, if you don't mind, and we can communicate that way for now. This site is so confusing. It's nice to have someone to talk to about this.

NO problem. So where in WEstern NC are you from? Have you actually had surgery yet?

I am looking for someone around the Morganton/Hickory area. I haven't had LapBand yet and don't even have an appt. I'm looking for anyone who can recommend a good dr around this area and for a dr. that will take BCBS. I am a full time student and a mother of 2, so don't have a lot of driving time. But, I do need to do something, I know that I can not lose this much weight on my own. THanks everyone.

HI, have you been able to have your surgery since this post? What are your results like? I live between Lenoir and Hickory, so... it's weird to see someone on here who lives close by. I'm hoping to have the Lapband, I haven't really done much in the area of finding a dr, etc... I was hoping that one around this area takes my insurance. Is thier any advice you can give me?

Do you mean Blue Cross Blue Shield, thats what I have. I am interested in the LapBand as well, I haven't actually went through the process yet. I was wondering and hoping that the insurance will cover it....is there anymore information you can give me?

Well, I'm considered Western North Carolina, more in the foothills than the mountains.

What is RNY? How much weight did you lose with it? I am in Elementary Education and will graduate with my Bachelors Degree next December.

Hey, if you don't mind my asking how much weight did you lose?
