Hi my name is ashley and I'm a newbie. I am researching surgeons in Mexico and Costa Rica for the Lapband. My BMI is 39, and my insurance isn't going to kick in until Oct, I can't wait another 6 months for approval, plus I don't think they cover the lap. After researching the different types of surgeries, I feel like the Lap is the one for me. It is the safest and while I may lose slower I think it will effectively help me change my life forever, not just for a few months. Right now my PCP is doing tests to see if I have any co-morbids just in case insurance may cover it. I am a little concerned about haveing surgery in MX and trying to get fills in the US. I live in a small rural community in NorCali and I might have to drive a ways to get them. Anyway, that is my intro. This seems like a great board and I'm excited to begin my journey.
