Hey, my name is Maggie Hackler. I was reading about how you own the only teens weight loss surgery group. I am 16 years old and interested in either the lap banding surgery or gastric bypass , I havent made up my mind as to which one I want. My mother is all for it and willing to travel out of state if I can find a surgeon willing to do the surgery on me (because of my age) I am in the beginning stages of seeing if my insurance will cover it. My mom is going to call the insurance company tomorrow for me. Then if they do we are going to set up and appointment with my doctor. But see, Im not sure all as to what I am suppose to do, and who I am suppose to get ahold of for this. Can you help me out? I live in Nebraska , Beatrice Nebraska to be exact. Thanks *-Maggie-*

Hello! I have done walking, roller skating and water aerobics. You can do your own version of water aerobics in any pool....you should be able to google "water aerobics" and find a site with the different exercises. Just swimming laps or "running" thru the water is pretty good too.

Welcome to the board!

I will keep you in my thoughts girl. I am so sure that everything will work out on its own for the best....just keep positive and stay focused and make sure you let us all know when the letter of approval arrives...... Finda Nessy
