Ok so my name is Stephanie. I am 5' 6" and 250 pounds that puts with a BMI of 40.3. I have been 'Dieting' for years. I have lost some weight before, but I always gain it back and then some. I have varies health problems, and have been told I am in the pre-diabetic stages. My grandmother has diabetes so I am already considered at risk. I really want to lose this weight. I want to be healthy. I am not lazy either. I exercise quite regularly. I think food is the main issue. I really want to be banded, but I dont know were to start. Do I see my regular docter or a surgeon? Will my insurance cover it. Who operates on minors? Please help me!

I am from neenah as well. Do you know if the neenah center accepts minor paitients I am 17 I have a couple months til I am 18.
