I am almost 25 and weigh 212lbs. I live in Manhattan KS and I am looking to have the Lap-Band procedure done by early 2007. I have been severly overweight for about 5yrs but have been a little chunky for the last 10yrs. I work with 2 women that have had the RNY done about 5yrs ago and they look and feel great! I have always been terrified of the risks involved with RNY and set my mind that I would never do that procedure. I saw a commercial for the lap-band and I immediatly started to research it. I just knew this had my name wrote all over it, this was the one for me. My normal weight is 125 so I'm not quite 100lbs overweight but my body feels like it is. My BMI is 40.8 so I qualify for the procedure. My insurance will caver 90% of it so that helps. I just sent my application for the consult to Tallgrass Surgical Center of Topeka KS, so I should hear something in about a week. I am very excited to start a new life as a different person. I have joined this site to start a support group of friends that have let's say been there done that. I would like to have support from the very beginning and last a very long time, I would like to share every step of the way with others starting and one's who have already had it done. Photo's will be coming soon!
