terri2 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Hello everyone my name is terri. This is my first time with lapband talk I have a lot of questions. I want to have this surgery because of health reasons only. I have tried weight watchers, exserise, and even weightloss pills. I have lost and gaind back double what I have lost. I have gaind musle mass and Water weight. I realized that I was a diabetic and this was scary to me. Outside of me being a diabedic I have high blood pressure, added weight on my frame causes me pain in my leggs, upper and lower back, and feet. I am on so many meds that cover all thesr elment when I realized that all of it is tied to my weight a least the most of it. I need a doctor that I can trust to see me through this. I have 2 small children that need me around and I want to be thair for them. Is here any one out there that can point me in the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted October 2, 2008 Start with your insurance. Make sure it's covered. Once it's covered, get a list of covered surgeons. From that list, pick one (or two or three) and go to the seminars they all hold (don't PAY for a seminar; they are free)....from there, you'll have an idea if you want to proceed or not.
