Hi all! I'm new here and just wanted to say hi. I a looking into the lapband surgery. I have MassHealth, so I'm not sure if they will even cover it. And I have MS so I'm a little worried on it that will cause a problem. Just wanted to say hi... :)

Welcome, I just had the Lapband surgery 1 week ago. So far I feel great and have already lost some weight. If you have any questions about it let me know. Hopefully Mass Health covers it.....
