seizures

I just want to thank everyone and this board. Its so great. I've been watching the board for a few months now and i feel so educated on the band and have decided to go through with it. but I have a question more of what everyone thinks.6 years ago I had a seizure. I've never had one before and haven't had one since. I had been taking diet pills at the time. I told the doctor that and he didn't seem concerned about writing that down. I did all test and everything came back fine.I attended a seminar and got my paper work for the lap band. of course they ask about medical history. I thought about not teling him I had a seizure, but it will show up on paper work from the doctors anyways. would my lap band surgeon tell me no to getting the band? would insurence still cover it? I hate knowing that a doctor who didnt take notes to say I was on diet pills mess up my chance of having a great future.I also had two back operations more serious than the lap band with them collopsing my lungs also for the operation and I never had a problem.

I thought I had heard that medically, if you haven't had a seizure within the past 5 years, that it was a non-issue. I'm not positive, but I could swear that's what I've heard.

I hope so :/ I know That I can't get insurence only if through a job because they consider me a risk still. even though thats been 6 years and its been 10 years for my back operations.
