Hi, my name is tonya. I just went to my seminar tonight. I am going to set up my appointment for my consult. My biggest two worries right now, is will my insurance cover this, and then will i learn to eat the way i am suppose to. I would be interested in talking to anyone who could lend support.

welcome, T! I was a self-pay, but you can eat the way you are supposed to if you really want this. the lap band is there to help you - it's amazing!

I'm new too! I still have to call for my appointment but of course the woman is out on vacation until next week! I'm with you all the way. I'm nervous too - I'm scared to death!!!!!

In order to BE someplace different .... we need to DO something different ....

Thank you!!! I've been thinking about this for years and I'm finally getting the courage to proceed.

Hi all!

I just set my date for May 13th. Self-pay so it's going pretty quickly. Already went to seminar, one support grp, cleared by psych (whom I'm glad I get to see thru all of this). I pulled extra $$ to cover my DVT tests, but found out it's included with my $13950 total cost. SC Obesity Center rocks!!! I go April 1st (ha) for my pre-op class and wonderful pre-op diet instructions. This is all my 40th b-day present to myself. I need to be down to 145...didn't weigh that since I was 10-12yrs old. I just hope my body will go down that far. I'm at 245 right now, 5" 6".
