Thanks for the support. I know once I do it, I will miss the food too. I love food. don't we all? I would like to do it on my own too. But I know that I would love it with the band also. So, if in the next year, I do not do it on my own. I am sooooo getting the band. I am looking forward to losing with him. We need our eating habits to change anyways. I love veggies and such. He will not eat them. But I know that with him eating less and better the good habits will rub off on to our kids. That is what all of this is for. Our kids. I do not want them to turn out the same way. High cholesterol and high bp. I have always been a big girl. I carry it well, thank the Good Lord for that. But I would love to be sexy. For myself and for him.

Sorry for the delay on responding. I was down with the flu. I hope you trip to the end if the tunel is a short one. I found out, after being told to gain 10 lbs that I HAVE to wait 18mos and there is no way around the wait period. So now that I have extended my "wrap around porch" :eek:that I have working here...now I have 10 extra pounds to lose. Ugh. I am going to try the Alli and water pills, and see if I can chain myself to the treadmill. So, wish me luck. I do wish you the best and thanks for listening to me.

Anyone have Boon? My husband is the employee and I am the dependant. My doc mentioned that there may be a way around the whole 18 mo waiting period thing. Since he has passed his 18 mos and mine has just started. Anyone have any idea if this is true?

Thanks Ladies. I was looking for individual insurance. I was hoping to find something that I did not have such a long wait on. But, "all good things...." Right? I will just wait for my 18 mos. Thanks again.

My insurance has an 18 mo waiting period. I do not want to wait that long, but I can not afford the cash payments. Does anyone know of an insurance company that will cover the Lap Band Surgery and that has a short wait time, or they accept a letter of insurability? Pls, Pls, help.

We are going to our first visit with the doctor today for my husbands surgery. We have an 18mo waiting period for weight loss on our insurance. So, we decided that he needs to have it done first. Me? I have to wait another 18 mos since I was just added to his insurance. I am so excited for him, but so frustrated that I have to wait so long. I have always been a big girl. But on top of that I have horrible cholesterol levels. We have three beautiful kids and I want to live longer for them. Not much worried about getting fit and skinny. Although that is a plus, but I just want my heart and body to allow me to be here to help and see them grow. And of course, like all others, I have tried it all. My husband is the only one working and he is 38. I am so worried about him. My father had his first heart attack at 42. I just pray and wish that I could come across a bag of money so I could go for the lap band tomorrow. UUUgggghhh. I dislike having to wait.
