I'm thinking about lapband surgery?!


Question: I'm thinking about lapband surgery.?
I am trying to find ways to lose weight since I have a thyroid condition. Nothing has ever been able to help, and I recently went to a new doctor (because I've relocated) to ask about weight loss surgery and whether or not it would even help since I have a thyroid disease. He basically told me if I had the money, I could get it. I kept pressing for answers about the results I would get, and he seemed like he didn't know.

Does anyone know about lapband surgery, in general.? Advice you could give on the procedure and funding help.?

also, do you know of the results with someone who has a thyroid condition.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
one of my relatives have had lap band 4 months ago, she didn't have any problems personally, she said she only had pain the day of her surgery (afterwards) no recovery problems, lost 105 lbs. It's not been easy. she was crting, hurting...... BUT she can play with her son now!!. she can be around people without feeling their stares and hearing their snickers. she looks like everyone else. also you will lower ur risk of heart attack and stroke.


OH AND
If you really want to have it done, find a doctor and have a consultation. Most places will do the initial one free. Your doctor's staff will more than likely know if an insurance plan will even consider coverage. They may also have financing available. I paid 100% cash up front (I cashed out my 401K, I figured I would be dead by retirement anyway if I didn't do something), but my doctor did offer financing.Health Question & Answer

that is a very serious surgery ! dont take it lightly! and it could make you have nasty looking flabs!i would regularly recommend diet and excersise but since u have a thyroid condition i dont know what advice to give you.but i can tell you this! if your doctor cant tell you the effects that is not good and if your taking it on your own risk dont pay for it! make your insurance company pay for it Health Question & Answer
