On my way!

I am glad you are on your way.  It is a long process and I had Aetna insurance too.  I did the RNY through the LiveLite program in Junction City, Kansas, in mid-August.  It is not quite 6 months and I have lost 80 pounds.  I'm thrilled.  I originally thought the lap band was the way to go too but after meeting with the physicians and hearing all the options I also changed my mind to have the RNY.  I believe it was the best decision I could have made and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.  Best of luck to you. 

I am considering lap band procedure.  What are the complications associated with it that you mentioned in your message Jan. 18.  Just want to know as much as I can before I plunge ahead.
