So lost....

So here I am.... I have absolutely no effing idea where to begin...and there are so many things I need to do before I can even begin "lap banding". My to do list: Find an insurance carrier Find a doctor who accepts my insurance Do all paper work for doctor among other things Get insurance company to pay for procedure...am I wishing or what? So my first thoughts today are, OMG! I look like a whale... I went shopping and I fit into a large shirt and size 21 JEANS....this is ridiculous! I am an active person, I dont eat alot, but I know I dont eat right either. I weighed myself a minute ago and the scale pratically screamed "GET OFF ME!!!!!!!" To my dismay it also told me I weigh 230 lbs. And I am only 5'4". This is so sad. This time 2 years ago I weighed 180. And that was after I gave birth to my daughter. I started doing some research tonite and came across the lap band. I had heard about it before and have always been interested just never thought the day would come when I would actually NEED it. My BMI is 39.5, so I am a great candidate for the procedure, I just dont have the money to do it. I am trying to save money for a new house and money to pay for a wedding next year so I have absolutely no money for anything on the side. I live with my dad until i get married (house rules) so my dad helps me out alot financially. Being that I am in school and have a student loan for 10,000 and growing, and I have shitty credit, I dont think financing will be an option for me either. Unless I can sucker some bank into giving me a loan I think I have only one option left, INSURANCE. Which leads me to the question, what insurance company pays for the lap band? SO if anyone is reading this...send me a message and let me know if you can help...give advice, guidance, anything! Much Love to ALL:faint:
