I started putting weight at age 8. when i was around 12 i was thin, but told i was heavy. so i started putting on weight. now i am 300+ lbs & 42 yrs old. i lose weight than goes right back on. i fail at maitance. also it seems like when it's that time i can't stop eating. so i have starting looking into lapband. have that physical reminder about eating. also has anyone has a personal trainer w/ nutrition? there are 2 gyms here doing that now, was thinking of doing that.

My primary Dr referred to one of only 2 bariatric surgeries that she trusts in our area. There office got him approved at a bariatric surgereon. I got approved for a referreal. Well then i got letters stating that I am approved for surgery BUT they will not cover the surgeon that they approved me for a consult. they now want me to go to a Dr out of state & follow there 12-week diet program for 12-mtonhs...?? thank my concerns are: financail burden of the diet & travel. do not know this Dr. they are about the pyschy & figuring out things and not so much surgery why can't i go w/ the Dr i was referred to that is in our network. the diet will make me sick & i will not learn anything

i see my primary on Wed & was wondering if i could talk to her about that!

So the bariatric Dr my primary referred me to was approved. so i drive 2 hrs away from my home attend there seminar & drive 2 hrs back. just to find letters from my inurance saying i meet the criteria for surgery BUT i don't need to see Dr. Bright we'll approve for you to seeing Dr. Pennings in another state!!! that's insane!! and they want me to there 12 week diet for 12 months first!! WHAT?? i don't understand. HOW DO I FIGHT THIS!!!?? jen
