I'm new to the site and going to a seminar next week to see if lap band is for me and if my insurance with UHC Choice will cover the cost. I come from a big family that loves to eat and now my brain has lost the ability to tell me when I'm done . . .until my pants feel too tight and I feel sick. I'm a mother to a 10 month old and need to do something to change my life for myself and for my little girl. I have a slow thyroid and no energy as it is being 100+ over weight with a BMI of 40.3. I'm scared about what my future holds if I don't get in better health and feel like a failure for not being able to lose weight with Dr. Atkins, Scarsdale, Dr. Phil, cabbage soup, water only, South Beach, Weight Watchers, and of course Nutri systems . . . . :confused2:. I'm afraid to tell my family what I'm looking in to also I've mentioned it once and got the we love you the way you are and you should elect to have surgery just use your will power. I guess they don't realize it's bigger than willpower.
