I started my journey January 2013, I submitted my information for lap band surgery the first time in June 2013.(BCBSTN) I was denied due to not loosing the 10% they require you to loose before approval. On March 23 2014 I met my goal weight to resubmit my information back to the insurance (BCBSTN) I got my call this morning from the insurance company i was approved. I have my pre op visit with my surgon April 23 2014 and i have my surgery on May 9 2014. This has been a long road to get to this point now I am nervous about having it done.
My sister was banded over 5 yr ago and had multiple complications has lost over 113lb.
My wife was banded in November 2013 and has had 2 fills she has lost over 65lb.

Lowest Weight: 277lb
Current Weight 285lb
My first goal is 200lb
I am 5' 11"
