That's awesome! Keep up the good work! I hope to have the same testimony eventually! Cherylseekinghope

I am in the beginning stages of looking into the Lap Band surgery, and hope to talk with some who have had surgery in central Florida...Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Olando, or anywhere nearby. If you know of any, please contact me. I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Cherylseekinghope

Thank you Audrey! Please let me know after your surgery what you thought, and good luck!!! I pray this is the beginning of your new life! Take care, Cherylseekinghope:thumbup:

What does it mean to have a fill? What causes the weight gain initially? Cherylseekinghope

Hi everyone, I am new at this and not sure how it all works, but am hoping to find some others that are in the same place as I am, or have been through it already and can offer me some hope and help. I have been on the road to physical and emotional health for over 20 years...between diets, healthy eating, and lots of inner healing from counseling I have tried it all and have had little success. I am tired, weary and feeling quite hopeless to say the least. I went to a eating disorder program for 30 days 3 years ago, and have maintained a 60 lb weight loss, until about 3 months ago. Since then I have gained 10 back and see no end in sight. The 60 lbs was slow at coming off, and I still have over 100 to lose...help!!! My counselor approached this with me recently and I just called my insurance company to find out that my employer put an exclusion on this type of surgery. What do I do? Is it possible to appeal and get approval, and if so, does my employer have to get involved? Thank you for listening and I look forward to any information that might help. Cherylseekinghope :smile:
