has anyone had success with the lap band weight loss program?
success stories, or failed stories? any info you would like to share?
I had the band put in on May 12, 2008. It was the best thing I have ever decided to do in my life (except for getting married and having kids). I'm down 150lbs. After only 4 months I went from a BMI of 57 to 49 (I lost 10lbs before due to diet restrictions needed to prepare for surgery). My Knee's and Back hurt a little still, but not like they did before. I was taking Percodan for the pain, now I'm taking Motrin. My heath is improving by leaps and bounds. I have had to stop taking my blood pressure meds and turn down my CPAP (sleep apnea) machine down twice. Now I'm at a BMI of 40. If I had gone into see the doctor about getting the band today, I would only be a borderline candidate. 40 is usually the cutoff but it can go down to 35 if you have other issues like diabetes.
Even if I stopped right here, it would have been worth it (not that I would be 100% satisfied). I even self paid ($16,000), so I obviously wanted my monies worth.
Just remember this is a life long change, but the band makes it so much easier to loose weight. I wish I had been able to do it at age 16 instead of 33.
Check out my source, they have a lot of great information on the band and on other sugary options. However, I believe the band is the best, since it the only adjustable and reversible weight loss surgery.

Does anyone know if New York medicaid will pay for weight loss surgery like the lap band and anythine else?
I'm 47 and need to lose a lot of weight (200 lbs) and have tried all kinds of things and nothing works for me, its depressing I wish I was like a bodybuilder not a bodyblob and nobody offers help only mockerry and insults!
It appears that they do.
