hello my name is Kami and im from california, im 23 years old i am a mother of a 4 year old boy. i have a dr appt tomorrow 4/1/11 to talk about getting started with the lap band!! i am 5'5(ish) and 265lbs. i am really hoping i am approved, i am borderline diabetic(if not there already), my hip gives out all day every day, i cant walk when this happens, my ankles are swollen by the end of the day from all the walking i do at work. I feel very tired all day long and i seem to be always cold, which i have been told has something to do with poor circulation which is because im over weight. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun to loose weight and all i can seem to do it lookse Water weight of like 3lbs and i cant seem to go any further no matter how hard i push. i went to the gym 4 days a week did tons of cardio and little bit of weights and ate healthy, that didnt work. diet pills, tried them all, that didnt work. no carb... ya didnt work either!!
i am really hoping i am approved and get the ball moving so i can have a better life for me and my son!! i called my insurance (IEHP) and they said they WILL pay for it!! i was so excited and shocked they will pay!!
for everyone who has been through this already does it sound like im good for it??
thanks
