Your lap band surgeon is in the business of making money on the surgery, not the prelims... If they say they will get you approved, be reassured it will be done. You did your part the way you were supposed too... good luck and stay on them to correct it.

My first ever blog. Just trying to figure how this works. Well a little something about me before I go to work. When you look at me you don't want to scream BARIATRIC SURGERY. But it is not what others think it is I who has to live me me, and she is not happy. I am obese, by all of the standards of this western world. I am a toe II diabetic on insulin and have hypertension... oh did I mention, I am 216 pounds and have not been below 200 in like for ever, not matter what I do. The scale stops at 201, lol. I will write more soon, but this is my journey, m way, regardless what you think or how ou feel. I have two sweatsuits that I have had over TEN years. Both cost $100 each and I have never worn them outside. My journey will be a success when I can wear them. I will determine my success. Off to work! Oh yeah... surgery is March 9, 2011.

Hi 2sweet Unfortunately insurances are strict... Sad to say get your BMI back up to 40. If it is 39, it should not bee too much eight to gain. Kaiser of GA (at least mine) does not even pay for the surgery. Keep your head up and keep at it.
