New with questions

Hi All I have recently decided that WLS may be for me, specifically Lap Band. I've been seriously overweight for 15 years. Can anyone advise what I should do to prepare myself for what lies ahead? Insurance? The surgery itself? What are the cons to Lap Band? Any information at all is appreciated. I've spoken with my PCP already and she is not going to be supportive at all. So the first thing I guess I need to do is find one in the Tulsa area that will support this decision. Thanks in advance!

Check out this website and others. There is a lot of good information on the boards, and there are several good books out there on WLS. Also attend the doctors' informational seminars. It does not obligate you and you learn a lot. As for your PCP ask any friends that you have that may have had surgery. If you decide on a local physician as your surgeon they have lists of PCPs that they have worked with. Good luck on your journey.
