NUBarb45 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Hello Everyone. My name is Barbara and after much reseach and soul searching I have decided to have lap band surgery. My insurance does not pay for weight loss surgery so I am taking a loan out on my 401K. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember and after making this decision and getting the loan approved, I can breathe a sigh of relief. It's like I see a light at the end of a long dark tunnel. No one who is not overweight or has never been overweightcould ever relate. I hope to have surgery on Feb 20th. There are many appointments still needed. But now it doesen't really matter how long it takes to complete the appointments. I look forward to sharing my experience and gaining experince and tips from people who have been banded already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
