:cry I'm just waiting for a call to get the whole process started. I'm 239 lbs about 5'1/2" and very disgusted with myself being so fat. I'm on humana/medicare from KY. I've had 4 back surgeries that has left me disabled, and I've gained so much weight with this injury, I just want some of my life back. I'm sure most of you know this feeling. I've been to a seminar in Louisville, Ky and I've filled out the packet, and just waiting to hear that I have an appointment to get this started. I guess they are sending the information to my ins. to see if it's going to cover.

I'm just finding out this week that the thing I was hoping to avoid which is diabetis that runs in the family is starting to hit me. I've noticed blurred vision, but didn't know my sugar was the cause of it. So now I'm more in a hurry to get this surgery started.

Well when I hear from something I will update this..

prayers are with you all.. I'm here for anyone out there that wants to talk or vent.

:clap2: Well finally the process has started. I am suppose to possibly hear whether I am approve or not within 4 weeks. But everything went great. My body mass is 43.6 and I hope to someday say it's 25 or below. My dad said he thinks the lap band is a waste of time, but I just don't agree with that. I know that I'm doing all I can do and God said that is all that is required of me and he will be there for the rest. So just keep me in your prayers and I'll do the same
