Phetermine Now or Lapband Later? Alabama Here
lilacbeauti58 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey everybody out there! I am a 22-year old female from B'ham, AL. I currently weigh 225lbs, standing at 5'2ft, and have a BMI of 40. I recently went to a Dr. for a weight loss program and she prescribed me Phetermine 37.5, however it has been a month and I have not lost any weight. Not to mention I have been having terrible side effects (acid reflux, migranes, moody). Ugh! I am still waiting on my lab results for my bloodwork. Anyway, I started to wonder about the LapBand surgery. I will formally begin my research when I attend a seminar 2/16/08. I have read alot of post about the BCBS of AL and requirements, but I still have more questions, if anybody can help how would these situtation help or hinder me..... --I started working with my company(over 20,000 employees) Nov 2007 and my BCBS(Advantage) began coverage Dec 1 07. --Before then I did not have any insurance, I was a student, and when ever I needed help I just went to the emergency room. Could I get my weight from my visits there? --Does this weight loss program count toward 6 months? I appreciate any help or advice...Thanks guys! lilacbeauti58@yahoo.com<!-- google_ad_section_end --> -
