Hey everyone!!! I am Alea! I don't know about all of you but I am so tired of hearing the phrase...but you have such a pretty face...thanks but no thanks! I am so over being overweight. I am 2 months into my dr supervised weight loss and hopefully will be getting scheduled for a Jan surgery. I am a single mom and my daughter is only 15 months old...I don't want her to remember her mommy as being fat and I want to be able to teach her good eating habits. Any suggestions on how and what to do? Hopefully the lap band will make me not eat so much but will it do anything for my food choices? I am have been trying to cut out fast food completely but for some reasons sodas are my weakness.

So, I called the insurance company yesterday and they told me that I needed to have a BMI of 50!!!! I called the surgeon's office and they told me that whoever I talked to didn't know what they were talking about. Has anyone else gone through this? The dr's office also told me that I only need 3 months of the diet and consults with psych, cardio, pulminary, and nutrition...oh and 1 support group meeting. I am 2 months into the diet and still need to do the consults but my BMI is only 42 not 50. I would appreciate some help from anyone who knows what is really going on. Thanks!!!
