Hi, I am 5'3" and weigh 230. I am waiting on approval right now, but I was 125 before I married my husband then once we got married I gained a little weight but not much it was right after I had my kids back to back (they are 16 months apart) I gained and could not lose it at all I tried everything. So here I am at 35 and am very excited to find out if I have been approved or not. So we are sort of in the same boat her. Good Luck! Hope you do well

I just can't wait. :teeth_smile:

I told my husband that when I get that letter or phone call I will scream first then start to cry because this is what I have been waiting on something that will help me keep the weight off finially. I will be telling everyone that I am getting it

I am hoping with in the week or so I am so very excited and so is my family I have a lot of support

:smile2:Hi, I am with you on not being able to keep up with my kids and husband because of my weight. I have decided to do the lap band because I want to be healthier. I am waiting to see if I have been approved right now. I was just out with my husband and daughter this last saturday at a local flee market and we had to leave early because I was so tired and could not walk anymore because my knees hurt and I was having a hard time breathing because I am over weight. I decided that I want to keep up with my daughter because she is now old enough to go shopping and spend lots of quailty time with. But you need to make this decision on your own.

I come from a family that has type 2 diabetes on both sides of the family, plus I have a daughter with type 1 diabetes (and no she is not over weight at all). A person that is overweight and a diabetic is because the pancrease is not producing enough insulin or the cells are ignoring the insulin. the insulin beaks the food down into glucose and turn it in to energy and when you are over weight and do not excercise then the glucose builds up making you have more problem else where in you body. The reason that not everyone is a diabetic is because that it only hits certain groups of people more than others. If you were to talk to any doctor they would tell you that if you lose the weight you have a better chance of getting rid of the diabetes. this makes me very upset that you are a diabetic and do not know a lot about the disease. For a word of thought why don't all smoker's have cancer and some of the nonsmoker's do have cancer

Hello everyone, I am so excited to have found this web site. I have sat for a few days reading and have found answers to a lot of my questions. So thank you for helping me. I am currently waiting on approval from my insurance company. I am on pins and needles. :teeth_smile:

Hello, I am new to LBT, as I was reading your post I can tell you that I have had a threesome with my husband and another guy. We have been married for over 14 years and it took me a long time to do this we have a very good relationship. We made rules that all parties have to abide by. The only advice I can give you is that you need to have a very good communication between the two of you and do not rush into have one. Take your time.
