:smile2:I'm new to this site and am just beginning the whole lap band process. I have PCOS and was wanting to chat with anyone else who has been banded with it also. Thanks so much

WELOME TO THIS SITE and I wish you much success. I've not been band by PCOS but I have been band and from Alabama.

First call your insurance company to make sure they cover the procedure and then ask what are their requirements. Once you find out the requirements go to www.lapband.com and out where the closet seminar is being held and call and schedule an appointment to attend. During this time just research and find out as much as you.

You've found a great place to start by coming here.

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Hello and Welcome! I too live in Alabama (Tuscaloosa County), and have not been banded yet, but am scheduled for 11/11 at Med West with Dr. John Issis. Not to sound dumb, but what is PCOS? I would be happy to talk with you - send me a private message if you want.
