prinsess2006 0 Posted January 6, 2008 I have been approved for the Lap band procedure!!! I have Medicaid insurance, and never thought they would cover this surgery. After months of researching online, and about 3 weeks worth of dead end phone calls, I finally found a surgeon who accepts Medicaid. I can not be more excited. My surgery date is 1/15/08. I am staring to get nervous, but after reading some threads on this site, I guess most people feel the same way. I am a mother of 3 children ages 10,9, and 18 months. I have been overweight since 5th grade, and dieting just about as long. I have done weight watchers, every diet pill out there, starved myself.....ect. with no success. I know this surgery is the best thing for me. I am glad to have found this website, and hope to make many new friends here. Wish me luck!!! :eek::eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRODMOM 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Good luck and will be anxious to hear how you do. I will have my surgery end of Jan/first of Feb. Yes, very nervous but VERY excited at the same time. I, too, have tried everything in the book to lose weight. Weight has been a challenge for me since I was young too. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
