Good to see people that are doing their research! There are many, many people here that have had the lapband but I, unfortunately, am not one of them. I had Gastric Bypass Surgery in Feb. of this year...I had given up hope of ever losing another pound and had tried everything, every diet, over and over again...so I understand where you're coming from, most definately!
I CAN say this...when you have done all the research, you know what you want and you truly in your heart of hearts believe you deserve it...then put everything you have into it...fight the insurance companies...push through the waiting periods because though it took me 3 years of fighting, I wouldn't change one thing about my experience! I feel fabulous!!!!
Good luck to you, may you find your right road!
