Ok, so i am ready for the wrath that I'm sure i will get about posting this.... but i really want to know how others feel.
 
How do you feel about Medicare and or Medicaid paying for Lapband?
 
This infuriates me...... I get up every freaking day and head to work for 7am and work till 4.... then I clean office building on the weekends to supplement our family income to be able to get the "extras" in life.
 
I work because i have to and because my family need food, house, car, electricity... and insurance. So not only do we pay for the insurance, but the co-pays, the meds, the deductibles and the 20% after that.
 
In the meantime, people are getting all their pre-certs, surgery and fill...... for free. Why should i have to pay for your surgery when you don't have a job or insurance to pay for it your self....
 
Then come on here and complain about and or wonder if your fills will be covered......Really!!!!
 
I wish the government and other peoples taxes would have paid for mine....Oh and my recent Tummy tuck... i sure could use the help paying that $8800.... any takers
 
Ok, Bring it.....

I stumbled onto this while looking for some recipes I might want to try once I am finally banded. WHAT A GOLDMINE!!! I feel so much less alone now after reading just a handful of entires and a few topics in the forums. I know I am accountable for my own success but I am so much more inspired now. I know I can do it.
 
I had been toying with the idea of starting a blog about this whole journey so that my family and friends can join me on it by reading my struggles and victories as I feel my way through this. This is makes it so much easier.
