Lap-Band it is!

I had a meeting with my surgeon today (Dr. Pierce at Fairview Southdale), and I've decided to stick with my initial decision of having Lap-Band surgery.  Not only that, but meeting with him made me realize why I chose that route in the first place, and I'm back to feeling 100% about it.  I should never have doubted myself!  Lap-Band is, for sure, the right thing for me under my particular circuumstances.  I want to thank everyone for pushing me to do more research when I posted about my indecision over the Band vs. RnY.  That kind of support is exactly what I needed.

Now I just have to sit back and wait for an answer from BCBS!  AHHHHHHH!

Glad to hear you made an informed decision.
BCBS should be no problem for the band. No worries!

Congrats on your choice! The band has been a life saver for me! Keep us updated  and don't get scared by rumors and nay-sayers... the band is an amazing tool - just get ready for it, do your research and you'll do fine!

Congrats on your final decision! I love my band, can't imagine anything else for me. Like Elena said do your homework on it and it will be just fine!

Anything you do to take control of your health is wonderful, but I, of course, am biased, and think you're making a great decision! Congratulations.
